I used them a lot on the day skipper course. I have the 'Blue book' for the Bristol channel, but do I need a pilot book? I do intend to venture out of the bay soon, and fancy some longer trips in the medium term.
If so, anyone have any recommendations?

Just get the Reeds loose leaf almanac, we have used them for years and never hit anything. Always stick with the same publisher year to year aswell, i had a nightmare using different charts in the med.

there isnt a really good up to date pilot for the channel - the blue book is the nearest as far as I am aware

"Lundy and Irish Sea Pilot" by Imray covers most of the Channel. In conjunction with Reeds and the Blue Book covers just about all you can think of.
Also if you can find a second hand one there is an old out of print (and in parts out of date) Bristol Channel and Severn Pilot hardback by Peter Cumberlidge which can be interesting although most of it is in the Lundy & Irish Sea Pilot.
