Availability of Meths for a stove in Iceland
Hi,
I'm off to Iceland (without the bike) later this week. Could anyone tell me about the availability of Meths in Iceland? Both in and out of Reyjkavik as I need to fly up to the North West and won't be able to take it on the plane.
Thanks,
Charles

Generally yes, but I can't remember where it is sold ![Sad](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/sad.gif) Could have been at the shops, phamacies or gas stations... In 1989 I cycled across Iceland and had my Trangia stove with me. The bigger problem was to get it going in the mornings - I warmed the stove & methylated spirits in my sleeping bag before getting up for breakfast

If it is anything like Norway/Sweden/Denmark, then camping shops, chemists and possibly hardware shops.
Rod Spirit or similar

My meths stove will boil a pint of water in the time it takes me to get the makings together and have a slash and a stretch. I've never felt the need for it to be any quicker.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
