Does anyone have a (digital) copy of the Rockfax Pembroke Miniguide. They seem to have removed it from their website (probably because they have a new paper guide out in July). We are going down there this weekend and would really like to grab a copy of it before then. Can anyone help?

why not by the definitive CC guide?

Loads more to go at and a great investment

In reply to alexyoung: Hi Alex,

We have removed it from the site, as we do have a new Pembroke guide coming out soon (which looks great).

The reason we have removed it - is because in the past we had complaints when we brought a new guide out, without removing the old miniguide quite well in advance, as people bought the miniguide, then a few weeks later they saw their miniguide had been replaced by a new guide.

So I guess it is just impossible to please everyone all the time!

Have a good trip to Pembroke.

Jack

The RF one will be selective of course, but is already looking pretty neat:

Looks good - love the description of where Pleasure Dome goes (on one of the sample page pics) - Move up, then down, then up, then down, then finally up!

Sounds like my climbing style, normally minus the final up.

Agree looking good so far, new guide is definitely needed. Will be interesting to see the 5 volume CC guides as they come out as well.

Will the new Rockfax include all of the DWS routes added since the publication of Deep Water. I know there have been well over 50 new routes, so would be good to see them in the guide.

Haven't a clue, it is Mike Robertson's book (he of DW fame) and I haven't seen it yet.

Are you a bit off message here? Mick is always at pains to say that UKC are not Rockfax

It will be removed though fairly soon so please make sure you keep a copy on your own computer. We will not be able to send new versions once it has been removed.

We are not including much DWS in the new guide. Some of the routes on the Castle East Face tend to be done in this way, but they are also being included as lead routes. Other specialist DWS venues are not in this new book.

Cheers
