Enthusiasts buy this map to plan and dream, whilst for the newcomer to the sport it answers that question ?where can I go paddling? It is colour coded to clearly show the nature of these waterways.
Southern England and Wales is on one side of the large B1 sheet ? Scotland and the North of England on the reverse. The base is provided by a map of Britain at 1:625,000 (ten miles to the inch) that shows roads, towns, villages, rivers, streams and lakes with this detail in pastel colours. Brighter colours show some 540 rivers graded by difficulty - also canals and waterways used by motorized craft. Popular paddling trips are highlighted, as are white water centres. The map also shows locations for selected loch and coastal trips.
