Product Review
“Hard to fault. I rate this guidebook highly and would recommend it to anyone planning rides in the north Dales. Navigating your way around the book is easy, whether you’re governed by route length, location, or technical difficulty. The route descriptions, photos and maps are all clear, and the book is compact enough to slip easily into a backpack. Top marks.”
