4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could be better, 15 Sep 2009

By	T. Braddick (Herts, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These guides have improved vastly from the Nicholson guides I originally bought in the late 70's/ early 80's. Colour OS maps help information to stand out clearly and the spiral binding means the pages you want stay open on the barge roof (wind permitting) when you are navigating (very helpful on junctions or other places where decisions are required - and not just how much ketchup you want on your bacon butty). There are a couple of things they could be more helpful on though. Firstly, pub/ restaurant/ shops are mentioned, but a note as to which bridge is most convenient or safest to moor would be good. Similarly, notes on general safe/ secure/ legal overnight moorings, particularly in built up areas would be useful. Boatyards where overnight moorings are possible are mentioned, which is particularly useful in Birmingham and the Black Country, but for those who don't want to be in a boatyard, guidance on other locations would be a big 'plus'.
