I looked into these a few years ago. From memory there was not a UK supplier and they all came from either Canada or USA. Also have a look at pulks. They carry more gear but are bigger and bulkier.:) Also worth saying that you can make these sleds if you are any good at bending wood.
If i am correct this model Ray is using is one of white plastic. But i haven't got any luck so far in finding the company that makes these.
Something like this?:

Expensive!!! ...
A few weeks ago came across a website with some other models, but can't remember when (so I could check my internet history file) or what website :(

IIRC the Connovers have some basic instructions in their book.
