Finally, the wait is
over, the new Southern
Sandstone and the Sea
Cliffs of South-East
England has finally
arrived and the wait has
been worth it, it is a
fantastic guide and a
massive leap forward in
production terms over the
previous edition. The
guide comprehensively
covers all the popular
areas including Harrisons
Rocks, High Rocks and
Bowles Rocks - all the
crags have a superb
photodiagram which
clearly shows the routes
and there are some great
action shots both modern
and historical. Also
included (for those of a
slightly perverse
disposition) is the
somewhat terrifying sea
cliff climbing to be
found on the chalk cliffs
of the south coast -
again all these routes
have easy to follow topos
and there are some truly
inspiring / frightening
action shots.

volumes, this Climbers
Club production gives a

route descriptions will
keep you on track at both
the main venues and
several smaller outlying
crags. The historical
section alone makes this
one of the best guides
out there!

in Wales, the limestone
outcrops of the Eglwyseg
Valley give a great range

off for those on the way
