Customer Reviews

A welcome collection of information
This book plugs the gap in English guidebooks. For once there is a collection that gives a good idea of rivers all over England. For people stuck in the home counties it means you can buy one book rather than 6.

The details are all there and it contains a number of smaller rivers that one would otherwise have heard about only through hearsay. While it doesn't cover all the rivers in the area guidebooks there's more than enough here for your average paddlers and will certainly give anyone a headstart.

The addition of playspots will please the 'park n play' crowd. As well as tons of information about classic spots there are several less well know and you may discover a superb wave a lot closer than you think.

All in all a worthwhile addition to any UK paddlers bookshelf.

Must have
Although this book will not revolutionise paddling like Terry Tall Storey did it remains a must have for all those wanting to explore England in a canoe. The addition of park and play spots is welcome, along with river level information sources.
The descriptions are concise and informative and the level requirements and maps clear for quick reference. The vast number of rivers included guarentees that everyone will find somewhere new to explore. Did anyone realise there were so many rivers in England?
While it will doubtless be criticised for leading to greater pressure on the access situation on English rivers more information, used wisely, can only be a good thing.
Another one to keep in your glove box but it will be filed alongside Terry. A shame they missed the Ribble.

English White Water
Good guide book- I only use it as a reference as river levels can change
