Probably bovine TB

Hi
Could be any number of things depending on incubation, symptoms etc
eg cryptosporidia, salmonella, campylobacter etc etc.
If you feel unwell go to see your GP with a stool sample and they will investigate further.
Cheers

What David Walliams has got?

A fear of doctors? An inability to describe symptoms when asking for advice? Broken Shift keys?

Never drink any natural water in the UK. There is always a dead sheep in the stream higher up.

I keep pukeing and stomach feels like ive eaten a brick. Used to do it in Cornwall all the time no problems.

You need early medical intervention. Antidote not anecdote.

Drinking from streams without using a puritab or similar? I expect you have a range of parasites multiplying rapidly in your body. I wouldn't worry about it.

Oh! Just reread the thread - I'd assumed that you had indeed used a puritab or similar.

That's not half way up is it - more like in the valley bottom.
Anyway, what did your doctor say?

Oh lordy! Sounds to me like you could have fallen victim of the infamous Hora Trail Poo.

drank from mountain streams in Scotland for many years and never once had the trots.
i know this is largely irrelevant but so is asking for medical diagnosis on a bike forum, so we're all square i think.

Is it square to be irrelevant? Ay Carrera!

Expect to be urinating blood, excruciating stomach pains, embarrassing doctors visits, and finally an unpleasant bladder examination. Guess where the camera goes?

Rabies.
Scabies.
And possibly, Gout.

Gout is a given. All those (im)purines

Could be farm/chemical run-off thats entered the water higher up.
It'd be very rare that it'll be a sheep further up.
Anyone seen that petrol/diesel-like residue on surface/puddle water up in the Peaks- what is that?

In the OP's defence, I've drunk from streams for years with no puritabs (yeuchhhh), as long as it's flowing the odd's of getting a bug are minimal and the odds of anything worse requiring medical treatment minute.
Seem's you were just unlucky, get to the Doc's.

Also have drunk from streams around the UK for years without puritabs or a problem - think you have to be fairly unlucky.
The one time I did have a problem I didn't drink anything but didn't realise that upstream of the river I was swimming across to go surfing was a sewage plant which, when it rained heavily, I paraphrase "open storage tanks to purge the extra liquids to ensure the tanks are not over-filled, this can include raw sewage". Nice. A days vomiting and squits followed by a helicobacter infestation and 3 weeks on 3.5g of antibiotics per day and I'm fine
Still drink from streams.

Campylobacter is most likely from sheep sh!t. Weils disease would be my second guess, from rat urine.
You're better off being thirsty than having them diseases.
