I've just got my copy of this new guide - a new departure for the CC - selected climbs. After a quick glance, I must say I'm impressed - a worthy successor to Pat Littlejohn's guide. I'm looking forward to volume 2!

In reply to Mark Kemball:

Flicked through looking at the pretty pictures, and it does look good!

In reply to Mark Kemball:

I was going to email you about any pics you may have for vol2

In reply to Formerly Known as Pylon King: Most of my reasonable climbing photos are in my gallery - let me know which ones you want and I'll send you the high res version.

In reply to Mark Kemball:
Is the wye valley area covered by one of the volumes?

In reply to vertigo714:

Yes Vol 1 - Wye valley all the way to Dorset

Clearly the best photo in the book is of Zelda in the Wye Valley. Looking forward to getting my hands on a copy

In reply to Mark Kemball:

Who are the authors?..

In reply to HappyTrundler:

There's quite a few of them! They're listed on the title page.

In reply to Mark Kemball: hows the dewerstone and dartmoor covered in it ?

In reply to SimonMarcYoung: Volume 2 - Cornwall, Devon and Jersey, publication date to be announced.

In reply to Mark Kemball: It is a good looking book, the Wye and Avon/Cheddar sections are particularly good. The route selections in Dorset are pretty bizarre IMO, finding room for obscure climbs at Wallsend North and Winspit sea walls at the expense of classics like Silhouette Arete and Jo in the Ruckle or Reptile Smile and Pregnant Pause at Blacknor. I guess it is an attempt to spread traffic, but that has never been the purpose of selective guides before and doesn't seem to be the policy adopted in the rest of the guide.
Overall a worthy addition though and volume 2 should be good too.

Did the photo you took of Jen on The Russian make it in Mark?
