Cannot help you there as we always use the 5lit. water bottles from Asda or another store use it till the handle is breaking then replace bottle. That way it keeps clean.Not very expensive either, easy to carry one or two at once, as filling 2 will be even loads to carry. But we only have one at a time.

Have you tried looking at places that do home brew "stuff"..?

..they may have something...

You could always cover the open neck with a strong freezer type food bag held in place by elastic bands as a tempory measure until the original one turns up.

We also use the 5ltr water bottles from tesco or Asda just for keeping a drop of water whilst traveling, im not sure what size stopper you are looking for as to suggest where you may get an alternative spare from, which may be donated from some other sort of goods packaging.

Thanks, romany girl, for the suggestions... I think the freezer bag + elastic band might work, but am always looking to avoid extra faff...

A packet of the thicker gauge elasticated hair bands work well for holding the freezer bag in place, as they are the right size and less fiddly than the thin common bands sold in stationary shops which quickly perish and break when exposed to strong sunlight or dampness.
