This is an excellent book. I have just purchased an advanced elements inflatable kayak and this book is the perfect companion. there are simply loads of trips and lots of helpful information about licensing the boat too, saved loads of money by joining the bcu rather than paying for separate licences on the various waterways. I recomend this book to anyone wanting to take kayak / canoe trips in the south east

I have been inspired by the author, Peter Knowles over almost thirty years to paddle on various rivers round the world. I have done many of the paddles mentioned in this Pub Paddles book. The book is lavishley illustrated with accurate maps and descriptions. I was glad to see fluffy gets a bit of a look in, it would be nice to see more of the old bird.

I recently received my copy of Pub Paddles. What an excellent book this is. Possibly the best laid out, best written & clearest guide book I have come across, not just compared to other canoe guides, but compared to many walking guides, climbing guides & other such publications.
The routes are well chosen, & despite being "pub based", the pub is not the main focus. Indeed some of the trips are relatively adventurous, but still appropriate for almost any paddler, & the appreciation of the water & surroundings shines through. Even though I've paddled many of the routes myself, there is still plenty of new information for me, be it alternative routes, historical titbits or local information on other things to see & do. Even highly experienced canoeists will find new interest & ideas from reading it.
With clear tips, directions, recommendations for alternative trips in the area & of course a list of all the nearby pubs, this is immediately the definitive guide to canoeing the waterways of the south of England.

South East not South
Maybe I should have read the reviews. I was disappointed to find that the best short canoe trips only seem to be in the SOUTH EAST not the South of England.

A superb book, well set out with all the important notes as to timings and launch sites. I have already tried many and had tremendous days out on the kayak.

Pub Paddles
Very well written book. The lay out is perfect. Gives you confidence to just get out there and paddle. Loads of local information based around the routes. Highly recommended.
