Are some of you later starters considering taking Camelbacks along in case waterpoints run dry the afternoon? (I know the early starters would never consider it and normally have a two bottle and no stops strategy) 

 

I normally fill my two bottles up twice on route.

Some people on this forum would have you hanged, drawn and quartered for daring to mention a Camelbak....

I know, that's why I am asking permission first.

Bring your Camelbak along. Don't worry about the status quo, start a revolution.

Yes, but in pairs.

 

( But in all seriousness, 2 min shower )

If you're staying in a B&B or even an hotel maybe consider showering with a bucket in the shower and use that water to flush the toilet.

We higher than you[emoji16]

 

Most of us should know how to use it sparingly as although we have had a lot of rain recently we have been on water restrictions since late last year. Pity we can't drain some of our overflowing dams down to you.

We're staying in an airbnb rental and are doing exactly that.

Save water! And rather just drink the delicious local craft beers.
