Nicholson guides for east Anglia?
mike barrett
Nene, river Cam and middle levels.
I want to buy a copy for a present and am not sure which one covers these
areas! The Publisher web site is not much help maybe these erivers are not
covered by these guides?
thanks in advance.

They don't, or at least didn't when I bought mine. Imray do a Nene and a
Great Ouse which to my untutored eye, are not as handy as Nicholson.

The System is well pleased with this Unit's performance, which falls
within expected parameters.

Fens',
which included the Great Ouse and tributaries, Nene and Middle Level.
It was in the style of the Nicholson's Guides of the time.
ISBN 0 905522 97 4
You might be lucky to get one second hand,
the information may be a bit out of date, the navigation has been
straightened near Higham Ferrers for example,
but it gives more detail than the Imray guides.

To my eye too! But you're right Nicholson don't currently do a "Fens and
Broads" guide - although they used to before they moved to the current "A5"
format, when they used to be "1/3rd A4".
Last year someone with a HarperCollins address finally got round to signing
up on the imray-guides-update list, so I asked them if that meant they would
be returning to publication of the old guide in 2006. I got the typical
"We're not giving away our plans" kind of response that appears normal from
them.

There used to be Nicholson's Guide to the Broads and Fens (including
the Nene and Great Ouse), in the same style as the canal guides,
However, mine is dated 1986, and I think they were discontinued not
long after. No idea why.

I used my old version this year with no problems. I didn't find it any more
out of date than the others.
