Where can I find a Trangia 27-4 HA?

[AJB]

Hi,

As in the title I’m trying to find, specifically, a Trangia 27-4 HA for sale in the UK (http://www.trangia.se/english/5615.27_series_ul_ha.html), but I’m starting to think they’re not imported. Can any of you knowledgeable people shed any light on this before I ring the importers?

Many thanks

Andy

Not seen those anywhere (and I've been looking)
Closest I've seen is this http://www.outdoorworld.co.uk/trangia-277-ulha-kit-p-843.html

Not sure what the benefit of a hard anodized windshield is though - maybe it's stealthy It's quite frustrating no-one seems to stock the more interesting trangia kits - the pricing for individual pans is a bit steep

Millets and Blacks do the 25, and Blacks have the standard aluminium sets at £20, half price just now

The ultra light sets are rubbish (and I'm a big Trangia fan) quality.

Thanks I was in there this afternoon asking them why they don't stock it!

Well looking at the local mongers I find 27-3 HA (http://www.getout.se/item.asp?katid=406&item=11396). On http://www.getout.se/section.asp?katid=406 you can see the selection they sell.

The kettle (the only difference?) can be had fairly cheeply in any outdoor shop around here (personally I prefer space for a small fuel bottle to the kettle, but that is me).

Thanks for that, the problem being delivery, I can find them all over Europe, just not in the UK.

I picked up a 27-1 ul on ebay for £25 and to be honest I prefer my old Swedish army model.

Do you want me to pick one up and send on to you? The postage would run SEK 265 or 295 (depending if I break the 1kg barrier). I have mailed them and asked if (and for how much) they ship to the UK.

Hi Forestwalker,

That really is remarkably kind of you!

I’ve spoken to Trangia UK this morning and not only do they not import that set into the UK, you can’t even make it up from component parts as the 27 hard anodized wind shield is not imported at all.

I couldn’t ask you to do all that for me, it’s unreasonable, but I would be very grateful if you could help me with the language barrier. I was about to email them before I read your message, I suspect the postage costs to the UK would make the whole exercise too expensive but if you could let me know if they reply that would be a great help.

Thank you very much

Andy

We'll see what they say. If they charge actual parcel postage (I think the shape makes letter impossible, even if that would be significantly cheaper) it would be the rate I quoted, but one never knows (one other company claims SEK 175 for up to 4 kg, so one never knows, but they don't list the model in question).

Thank you

Now I got an answer; they can send abroad, but will need an actual address in order to calculate the cost. PM and I'll answer their email in order to get a quote.

I've emailed them too, do you want me to see if they email me back in English first - I don't want to take up your time.

Hi Forestwalker,

I’ve had no reply, I guess you emailed them in Swedish and they didn’t understand my English

Silly people. I refuse to believe that the staff does not understand English. PM me an address and I'll mail them in Swedish for a quote.

Take cover, PM inbound!

Well I it arrived this morning after being ordered in Sweden on Wednesday morning – 48 hr delivery would be good service from a UK supplier – but from Sweden – Amazing!!!

It’s a lovely bit of kit and I’ve completely indulged myself and have the multi-fuel and gas burners too – very extravagant I know.

But before I spend the day playing with it I just wanted to say a big public thank you to Forestwalker who not only found the supplier but brokered the deal in Swedish for me.

Thank you very much sir.

Andy

[AJB]

I'm made up
