Please not that food will not be served after 5pm" This probably means I don't have to carry water myself, right? Wrong? Indifferent?

Don't like the idea of being stuck between water stations with hydration issues. Not sure I'll have room for my spare socks, t-shirt, pants, fresh towel, flannel, sun cream and cafetière as well though so may take just the 1 litre rather than 2 !
