The Welsh Rivers: the complete guidebook to canoeing and kayaking the rivers of Wales.  By Chris Sladden. 1998

Chris Sladden is a fairly typical general practitioner in that he can’t understand why the free-market would offer better medical care than the National Health Service does!  However, he’s untypical in being not only a brave canoeist but also a great writer about canoeing.  This is his guide to all those funny rivers with unpronounceable names.  ch river section is mapped in detail and and described with humour.  Serious white water enthusiasts will get everything they need. 

Unfortunately his book is no help to my canoeing trips.  I’m a touring canoeist.  He stops and goes home, just where I put in, at Pool Quay for example on the Severn!   Nevertheless people like me can still enjoy reading about the scary bits of the river while we’re sitting in the pub!  Perhaps that’s why he put in lots of glossy pictures.  It’s a great canoeing guide.
