Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.

Ooh, you're naughty you!
More seriously; i'd rate the PB bag as well. Water is dead weight on any run up to three hours long at this time of year and there are always streams if you're out longer. Runners get obsessed about dehydration and it's largely unwarranted. I've used the PB for all my AL events and the three peaks; more than big enough.
.
Just had a look myself and I can't find it either so I think it must be shop only.
Yes, very simple and light. Red and black, 2 straps to tighten it, no mesh or anything to hold bottles on the outside, or any padding.
Not familiar with the PB one, but maybe give the Lakes Runner a ring. Free postage as well.
Hope that helps!
Sounds just like a Pete Bland to me.
The Rock & Run bag was great until a strap came off last summer (18 months old). I'd say for £20 it's not worth it, if the PB one is £10, cos there ain't much difference. Although other people say their R&R bag has lasted years and years, so there you go ...
Probably is. Although PB don't do free postage as far as I know so I'd go for the Lakes Runner one.
Just tried out this Lowe Alpine one - I like it a lot. The two bottle holsters are in the middle, next to the spine, minimising wobble. There are two zipped compartments on either side, each about 1.5litre I'd say.
Thick waist-strap, bit like a rucksack, and bungee cord compression straps round the back, meanm that it stays pretty solid.
More bulky and weighty than your classic PB style, but definitely serves a purpose if you're not going to pass much water on your runs.
I find it more convenient to pass as much water as possible before I set off.
Yes indeed. Mine was acquired with my first pair of fell shoes from R&R in Ambleside, sold by Andy Hyslop himself, back in September 1984.
Still going strong, amazingly, even if the label fell off years ago.
All the newer "simple" bags look like they are descended from this; but of course Andy may have borrowed the design himself!
The only one who can tell you "You can't" is you. And you don't have to listen.
Ended up with the PB. Very happy with it. Nice and simple. You can fit a small bottle in there too. Small inside pouch for keys, money ect would have been good. Thanks for the advice
