This isn't a do I take a bottle or bladder thread!
Assuming I'm taking a bladder, do I take my 2l or would a 3l be safer for September?
One obviously weighs less than the other, but I don't want to run out.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
In my opinion 2L is plenty. But you know, everybody is different. I'm not a big water drinker when I walk. I usually just carry an 8 oz bottle.

An empty 3 liter bladder is not significantly heavier than a 2 liter. Plus you do not have to fill it up to use it... you can be flexible in choosing just how much you want to carry or not carry. :)

I imagine September temps would be somehow similar to May/June whe I walked Madrid. And I sweat and drink a lot!!! I never carried more than 1,5l (3x0,5l plastic flasks) and never drank all three of them.
Hope that helps!
 
I went last Sept, I took a 2L and it was fine. There was some long hot days, and if I go in that time of year again I would probably take my 3L, but I like to drink lots of water. I agree with @davebugg.
