Customer Rating: Summary: Unbeatable! Comment: The best guide to the NW waterways ever. OK so the T&M isn't there in full, but then it's not exclusively a NW waterway or in the Pennines. The sheer wealth of detail both of maps and of navigational help, as well as that pertaining to local amenities is outstanding. One of the best things Nicholsons did was to introduce the spiral binding to a formerly thick and unwieldy book. This volume will lie flat on the boat roof, sit nicely in your pocket. I use it a lot - and I'm a walker!! Customer Rating: Summary: Watch out Comment: If you are looking for a guide to the Trent & Mersey canal - watch out. It only covers part. You'll need to look at all guides 4/6 to see what covers where!
