Wight Hazards by Peter Bruce, which complements the well-known Solent Hazards, provides a fund of interesting & useful wisdom for those who venture by sea to the enchanting but exposed south side of the Isle of Wight. Accurate & detailed information on the obvious & less obvious dangers is supplied in the form of text as well as aerial & sea level photographs, taken at extreme low water spring tides, that greatly enhance the scant information available from other sources. Racing yachts will gain a tremendous advantage from this information. Moreover, motor or sailing yachtsmen, in search of peaceful new anchorages or landing places, will be tempted by this book to explore an especially interesting coast, which they may have previously overlooked. The third edition of this original book adds yet more local knowledge & many new illustrations. ...

A detailed topographic map of Wigtown, Whithorn & The Machars from the Ordnance Survey Explorer series. Edition A1; Publication date August 2006 About this series: These highly detailed maps show all the administrative boundaries, settlements as small as isolated farms, the road network down to unfenced roads & country tracks, & field boundaries (hedges & drystone walls) which make navigation across the countryside much easier. Steep gradients on roads are indicated. Various landmarks, e.g. powerlines, archaeological sites, windmills, churches & lighthouses are shown & additional graphics indicate natural terrain features such as cliffs, scree, mud & vegetation variations. The contour interval is 5 metres in the lower parts of the country & 10 metres in the uplands, & spot heights are marked. Each map covers an area of 30 x 20km (i.e. approx. 19 x 12 miles), with some double-sided maps covering more, as indicated in the individual descriptions. The maps are fully GPS compatible, with the National Grid shown at 1km intervals & latitude & longitude indicated by margin ticks at 1'. The Explorer series has replaced the earlier, green-cover Pathfinder maps. The Explorer series is now complete & covers all of Engl&, Wales & Scotl&. Some sheets for popular areas like the National Parks are still branded as Outdoor Leisure (OL) maps, but are now included in this series as the cartography is the same as that in the Explorer Maps.
