I'm working on a sea kayaking guide to the SW coast (Isle of Wight to Bristol) this year, basically I'm trying to write a detailed inshore description with as much tidal data and suchlike as I can include. Obviously my interest is in kayaking but I've been reading a lot of yachting almanacs and pilots for source data. I'm surprised how few 'inshore' guides exist, all I have really found are Peter Bruce's books (e.g. 'Inshore along the Dorset Coast'). Is anyone able to recommend any more? The book is following on from already-published guides 'Scottish Sea Kayaking' and 'Welsh Sea Kayaking' (see http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/booksguidebooks.htm) and I hope to maintain the standards set by the authors of those titles. I am primarily aiming the book at kayakers of course, but I would be very interested to know if there are any particular aspects that might be of cross-over interest to sailors and other water users. Any thoughts welcome. I've been keeping note of my progress here... http://www.southwestseakayaking.co.uk Best wishes, Mark Rainsley Dorset Post Extras:       guidebook new user Reged: 17/03/2007 Posts: 2 Re: Inshore South West [Re: guidebook]       #1850005 - 07/05/2008 11:02 Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   After a lot of work, I finally completed this book! http://www.pesdapress.com/product_info.php?ref=9&products_id=23&affiliate_banner_id=9 http://www.amazon.co.uk/South-West-Sea-Kayaking-English/dp/1906095051/theukriversguide It's been a real pleasure to research and write. I hope it is of interest to some of you. Although it hasn't been written from a yachting perspective, as far as I'm aware, it's the only detailed inshore guide to the entire coast and islands of the SW, complete with lots of tidal and navigational info. I'd be very interested to hear from any yachties as to how they find the book. Best wishes, Mark Rainsley http://www.southwestseakayaking.co.uk Post Extras:       Pages: 1
