In August 2012 I'm braving the midges and the Highland weather and walking over 200 miles from the Great Glen to Cape Wrath at the North-Western tip of the British mainland, not by the shortest, quickest or easiest route, but via as many mountain tops as the weather will permit me, and all in aid of Cancer Research UK.

Travel Tap

Another essential piece of kit has just arrived - having walked in the Highlands for years, upon running out of water I've always taken some from high streams and springs and have never had a problem.  But because a lot of my route this time is not at particularly high altitude and after reading the second comment on this thread I decided to take precautions.  I bought this:


It's called the Travel Tap, and it means you can basically drink water from anywhere (except the sea) and it will be safe to drink!  Great little piece of kit - am a bit reluctant to try it out in the Thames though!
