Autumnleaves Apr 2012 11:56am, 18 Apr 2012 130 posts	0 Autumnleaves I've been taking a small karrimor bottle with me on my longer runs - but it tends to leak very slightly down the sides - which is a bit annoying; especially as if I take something like cherryactive I end up with sticky hands! Can anyone recommend a small, easy to carry bottle that doesn't leak? (I'm only training for a half so I don't think I need to take more than this with me). Thanks very muchly

It's oval shaped and your hand holds it through the middle. Comes in 250ml and 500ml sizes. I also use a Hilly bottle which has a hand strap. Seems fairly good
