The Northern England Rockfax guide book is a very detailed and helpful guide to climbs at a number of crags. For each crag a lot of information is given, such as parking, length and gradient of walk-in and how much sun the crag recieves and at what time of day. It also gives a summary of the number of each grade of climb (and how many are starred) at the crag. Photo topos make it easy to locate climbs, and coloured numbers make it easy to find the grade of climb you want. Everything that could be expected from a guide book.

As I've come to expect from previous rock fax publications this guidebook is very easy to use and invaluable for anyone not familiar with the crags covered. Nice full colour topos and description make it easy to stay on line and avoid ending up out of you depth. Obviously there are alot of climbs to cram in and they do there best to include a wide range of "good" climbs, this isn't the definitive guide for each crag by any means but unless you want to carry a few phone books worth round with you you wouldn't get any better. Could maybe do with a waterproof cover but that would no doubt push the price even higher.
