.Nicholson/Ordnance Survey Guide to the Waterways: London, Grand Union, Oxford and Lee v. 1 (Waterways Guide) City Travel Guides > Books > Ordnance Survey from: Nicolson Maps March 06, 2000 Excellent canal guide. Uses Ordanance Survey maps and very clear symbols to show important information like water points, winding holes and pubs. Has excellent descriptions of the towns and villages you pass through saying what amenities there are and a little history of the places, also full of helpful tips and navigational notes. Covers a large area of waterways all in the one book which saves you money in having to buy several guides which cover just one canal. This is a must have for every canal boater. >>See More Reviews & Details on Nicholson/Ordnance Survey Guide to the Waterways: London, Grand Union, Oxford and Lee v. 1 (Waterways Guide) |

.Nicholson/Ordnance Survey Guide to the Waterways: Nottingham, York and the North East Vol 6 (Waterways Guide) City Travel Guides > Books > Ordnance Survey by: David Perrott March 06, 2000 This applies to all 7 of the Nicholsons waterway guides: The use of OS maps to put the waterways in the landscape context is excellent, and the maps are clear and easy to follow. They are the only cruising guides available which cover the entire linked system, which gives them a monopoly - an unfortunate position which the allows the publishers to rest on their laurels somewhat. Unfortunately, the guides are FULL of errors, often not corrected between revisions, despite many readers' letters to the publishers and a dedicated independent errors website run by readers, being freely available for some years. Such errors can be as basic as missing out locks (which have, after all, only been in existence for 200 or so years)! There is also an odd ...

.Ordnance Survey Berkshire Street Atlas (OS / Philip's Street Atlases) City Travel Guides > Books > Ordnance Survey from: Philip's OS Publications November 13, 2000 Does the job fine, buy the ringbound version rather than the hardback, the extra cost is worth it because they last a lot longer. It will be out of date before it falls apart. >>See More Reviews & Details on Ordnance Survey Berkshire Street Atlas (OS / Philip's Street Atlases) |

.Nicholson/Ordnance Survey Guide to the Waterways: Thames, Wey, Kennet and Avon v. 7 (Waterways Guide) City Travel Guides > Books > Ordnance Survey from: Nicholson March 06, 2000 This book is a must for anyone planning a holiday on the Kennet and Avon Canal. Its maps are clear and the text is well written including some interesting facts about places of interest. My only tiny criticism is that on occasions it is not clear when indicating locations of Boat Services and Winding holes. However in conjunction with a 1:250 000 OS map, this is an unbeatable combination! Enjoy your holiday. >>See More Reviews & Details on Nicholson/Ordnance Survey Guide to the Waterways: Thames, Wey, Kennet and Avon v. 7 (Waterways Guide) |
