J - have checked the nathan one out - it looks quite small and neat, but I can only find it online - I might add it to my Xmas list!
Paul - I don't usually bother, as you say, I don't find the need up to about an hour and a half, but I'm beginning a marathon training programme, and I was thinking about being out for several hours. I do sometimes carry cash to buy something when I'm out, but I hate the change jiggling around in my pocket too! Also I was thinking ahead to the race itself, and carrying my own energy drinks etc. as I can't stand those gel things and they don't like me much either!
