1.0 out of 5 stars
Just for kayakers!,
By
This review is from: White Water Pyrenees (Paperback)
It is difficult to overstate our disappointment with this book. As outstanding as "White Water Massif Central" by Peter Knowles is..."White Water Pyrenees" is not. My wife and I have IK'd over 1000 miles,
canoe camping class II-III French rivers and found WWMC an invaluable guide. IGN map #905 "France Canoe-Kayak et Sports d'Eau Vive" shows hundreds of miles of seeming suitable Canoe camping rivers in the Pyrenees but absolutely none of these river miles are included in "White Water Pyrenees". This book presents very limited information on higher level runs on remote tributaries but no information on runs that might be suitable for canoe/kayak touring. The book's forward describes itself as "deliberately brief...to leave you the buzz of discovery". A guide book designed not to guide...hmmm quite a concept. My wife and I posponed making our airline reservations and other trip planning for over six weeks...waiting for WWP, what a waste of time. The only thing WWP has in common with WWMC is the cover and photos...otherise we found White Water Pyrenees basically empty of any useful trip planning information. |
