disappointing!!!!! The design is dated, the info poor, whilst the cover looks good the content is lacking and the maps are terrible. Not really the travel guide it promises, vague instructions to accommodation. There are much better books on the market.
a handy book to have but....

The Ultimate UK guide I am a little bit hesitant about recommending this book as I want to keep all the information to myself.

Everyone who calls themself a surfer should own a copy!
