Thanks for the responses!
Dave: I knew I wouldn't have been the first to invent that way of hauling, but now I know what it's called! Space hauling 100% in future. It seems to make sense to carry spares of critical gear. The trouble is that so much of the gear is critical!

I think it's worth mentioning that 2.5 litres was the total volume of water that we each had for the last day, not the volume of each bottle. We started with about 17 litres between the two of us and we discarded about 5 litres and finished with a litre or so to spare, so we actually only used about 5.5 litres of water each, or 1.8 litres per day.
I know that the normal recommended amount is a lot more than that and I think that the reason we used so little was because we were doing it in autumn when the weather is relatively cool and the sun doesn't get the wall very much.
