Quite a lot of stuff, but I ride to camp, not camp to ride. Planning on restocking food on Sunday, either in Llanwchllyn or (more likely) Dolgellau.

I was thinking that I will be the only person turning up with more than a spare inner tube, a role of tin foil and some balloons. Your kit list will be similar in weight to mine.

Dear posters to this thread. The OCD Help Centre has taken your details and will be in touch shortly 8-)

[Blackhound]

Are people carrying much water? I am not sure just how many open shops we will pass and thinking of capacity for 4l or so. basically filling my frame bag. Many seem to be coping with a couple of bottles. I will need extra for cooking but still think I may be taking too much.

[Bearbonesnorm]

You certainly shouldn't be short of water options Blackhound, exercise a little caution/care and you'll find plenty out there to drink and cook with ... I hardly ever carry more than one 750ml bottle plus some kind of bladder/ platypus to fill and use for camp duties.

I've got a couple of bottles on the bike & a 2L Platypus bladder in the seat pack that I can fill up when required (probably just for the evening). I'll be relying on purification tabs as I don't think there'll be a shortage of water on our route at least

Im taking 2 x 750ml bottles with a 1L platypus collapsable bottle/iodine/millbank bag.

I wouldn't carry 4L.

Fill up in streams etc. most are clean, just take from as high up and fast flowing as possible (dont fall in!). away from grazing fields is best.

If your worried you can filter/chem treat it. Im taking some bits but knowing me and being too lazy I will probably justtake it right out of the stream!

the 1L plat is to collect water last thing before camping to use 500ml for a meal and 500ml for breakfast. With the impending weather I doubt collecting water will be an issue.

[Blackhound]

Been saying to some of our party we should be able to collect sufficient for cooking out of streams. I can't find my purification tabs and have no filter but happy to boil. Might just go with 2l or so with capacity to pick a bit up for evening cooking.
