4.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable, 13 Jul 2009
This book was invaluable to us as novices to the waterways. Clear easily understandable maps. It's not like you can get lost on a canal - is it? Well there are times when you would wonder and this book stopped us taking the wrong turn more than once. Spiral binding makes it easy to change page and easy to stay on the same page. We only used a tenth (if that) of the book for our journey, so for serious or serial waterway goers this book would represent good value. If we ever went on a canal boat again, I would definitely get the equivalent guide for the region I was going to. The pages do not like getting wet, an idea could be to photocopy and laminate relevant pages before you leave.

5.0 out of 5 stars Novice Godsend, 13 Jun 2009
By Mr. Gareth James Hyde "WhittingtonRichard" (Whittington, Lichfield) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Never been on a canal boat before and needed a map and places to stop handbook. This is a must for beginners, with helpful tips, places to stop to buy food etc. Great boon on our trip

5.0 out of 5 stars narrowboat holiday must, 25 Oct 2009
By clivo (London) - See all my reviews
First narrowbaot holiday? Why would you need a map, after all a canal just goes up or down doesn't it? Fortunately a friend recommended this map and what a star it was. It mapped pubs, shops, places of interest and walks all within half a mile or so of the canal. Oh yes and it helped when you got to a canal junction not to mention flagging up all those "winding points" where it was possible to turn a narrow boat around. All vital for the holiday.
