Did the Saunders Mountain Marathon at the weekend: a bit of a comeback having been out of the hill running/MM scene for 20 or so years. Kit has move on a lot in that time, and having become accustomed to using a Camelback ® (…other brands are available) whilst out on the hill, without really thinking about it burdened myself with an extra 1.5 kg of unnecessary weight!
Back in the day I was quite happy using plastic bags and/or a cup and not carry much water between streams. However, nowadays been a bit slower, older and less fit I quite like the idea of have some water with me en-route, especially in hot weather like the weekend. (250ml – 500ml would be enough).
I’m thinking of a soft flask with a straw and was wondering how best to attach to a rucksack strap that keeps it secure, but also makes it easy to get off and fill up.
What’s the thought of the UKC mind hive? Thanks in advance.
