Hi,

I am planning a 6 month trip around Europe to do some sight seeing, surfing and climbing / bouldering. I have a few guide books, the haute provence one for france and costa blance one for spain.

We want to climb in as many areas as possible. Has any one got any suggestions on what would be a good guide book or selection of guide books to get? I know there are hundreds of possibilities but there is only a small amount of room in the van! We are climbing between french 5 and 7a (hopefully!!). We plan to travel to france, spain, italy, croatia, hungary, czech republic, germany, denmark and Norway.

Cheers

Ben

...it doesn't describe individual routes but help in planning which venues to visit.
