Rules for Carrying flammable subtances in UK
I am planning for a trek in Northern and Eastern parts of England. I am planning to cover the Hull to Liverpool section of the Trans Pennine Trail, which is roughly 290 km or 180 miles.
I have managed and planned for accommodation and camp-sites. As the weather in England is rainy most of the time of the year, I need a way to set-up a bonfire if I am allowed to. In India, we have a lot of restrictions on carrying flammable substances like Kerosene, Rockel, etc.
Are there any restrictions in England about carrying them? Whats the best organization or local body to fetch that information?

There isn't a problem carrying fuel for camping stoves (assuming in "sensible" quanities) in the UK.
HOWEVER, when wild camping (i.e camping off of organised camp sites) in the UK, the ethos is to leave no trace afterwards. So setting camp fires is a no-no. And on many organised camp sites, open fires are forbidden (although some do allow small fires and may supply a metal container for this purpose but in my experience, these are in the minority).
