Mike has showed me round near enough all the new crags and I can say first hand they are brilliant. There are routes for everyone, I think it's just as important for new easier routes to be put up just as much as the hard stuff.

The effort that all the guys have gone to to bring us these new routes is incredible, I can't thank them enough!

The 2nd edition is twice as big with much better action shots. Enjoy

In reply to Darrengold: The second edition has been at The distributers Cordee for a week so I would have have thought that it will be appearing in the shops at any time now. It is 50% thicker than the first edition with 117 new routes, 6 new craqs and 8 new sectors at existing venues. The Dyserth area is an entirely new quality addition with 4 crags and 3 of them recently developed.

In reply to UKC News: Cheers for the replies. I look forward to putting this to good use next year. I've checked out Dyserth falls in the summer, looked interesting. Can't wait for the good weather, and for the 2nd edition to drop through my letter box.
