I have a 2l hydration bladder, and I use carry 2 1l plastic bottles. A fair weight, I admit, but I carry the extra to lighten the load for the kids.
I'm thinking now that I've probably been a little paranoid about drinking water - our eldest shared a bout of giardia around when he was about 2, and it's not an experience we any of us want to relive! - so I'll probably cut down on the amount I carry. A more experienced friend of mine fairly scoffed at me carrying so much water - what does everyone here say? What is the water standard at, say, the Walls or other popular areas?
Also, I saw someone post a link recently to some filtering bottles - are those any good?
