I'm after a bottle holder that will attach to the strap of a Pete Bland bumbag. Is there anything out there? I can't see for looking.
Thank you.

You could try Raidlight - I've got a collapsible cup of theirs which came with a belt pouch (and mighty handy it is, too!) so they probable do bottle holders too.
I have an OMM bumbag with a bottle holder and it bounces quite annoyingly; I prefer to carry a bottle inside the bag!

This of course is no good for actual running, but its okay say if you hit a section where you need to scramble a little.
More and more I'm trying to move in the direction of taking less gear, part of that is not bringing a water bottle on runs up to 2 hours and relying on mountain streams for hydration/cooling. This solves the problem in a single stroke, but unfortunately I do a lot of races where carrying water is mandatory so I do end up training from time to time with the handhelds still.
You could try the new flat bottle from inov 8 and secure it inside the bumbag inbetween your windproof top and bottoms? That might work. It might also be possible to mod the inov 8 flat bottle shoulder strap holder, maybe take off the attachments and sew it to the side of the Pete Bland bag under the compression strap - that way the compression strap would cinch it in a bit tighter - might not be that comfortable.
On reflection I'll stick to recommending handhelds and stream drinking.
