Published in 8 parts, Nicholson's are the definitive guides to most of the English, Welsh and Scottish inland waterways; Part 4 - the four counties and welsh canals - provide a wealth of information for both boater and walker. The latest, 2003 edition follows earlier editions in using Ordnance Survey map extracts as its basis. Canal, locks and towpaths are highlighted with additional information such as boatyards, water points and refuse disposal superimposed at the appropriate points. New for 2003 are the identification of "combined sanitary stations" and "local food shops" but, unfortunately, this new edition omits to identify which sanitary stations provide DIY pump out facilities. Detailed coverage of the Shropshire Union main line, the Llangollen Canal and the Montgomery canal is good although those familiar with these waterways will spot the occasional error. Why Nicholson's do not use individual Canal Societies to source and check information remains a mystery. On balance though, this guide must be an essential part of the navigator's armoury - do not leave your moorings without it !!
