Inadequate, incomplete and out of date.,
By
This review is from: The Lundy and Irish Sea Pilot (Paperback)
It is strange that this is part of the same series as the excellent Scottish pilot books by Martin Lawrence; it is of a much lower quality. The coverage is thin with only the most obvious harbours and anchorages included. Though there are aerial photos they are less for information and more just illustrations; for example, what use is a picture of Whitehaven harbour at high water when the deep channel and surrounding banks in the outer harbour cannot be seen?
Many entries appear useful until one tries to use them when their inaccuracies and sketchy nature become clear. The interesting stretch of coast between Tenby and Milford Haven is barely covered, there is a mention of St Gowan Shoals but none of Crow Rock and no hint that there is an inside passage of both; what use is a pilot which doesn't offer such pilotage information? In fact the Reed's Almanac entry for the same area contains much more detailed and useable information. There is a similar omission for the inside passage of Carreg Ddu in Bardsey Sound. The entry for Tenby harbour gives little information about depth and that is seriously out of date as there is now a large, uncharted sandbar blocking the entrance and severely reducing the depth and therefore safe passage period. If I can find a competing pilot book I will buy it like a shot.

Great book,
This review is from: The Lundy and Irish Sea Pilot (Paperback)
This is practically a bible for this sea area without being so detailed that it only covers a very small area. The colour arial photos really do help. Get North West Venturer's guide to Anglesea and Adjoining Waters if you are spending much time in that area.
