Layout confused by multiple languages
|
|
I didn't realise (perhaps stupidly - I should have paid more attention to the title!) that this was a bilingual guide. When I first opened it I thought someone had sent me one of those inch thick manuals that you get with your washing machine where you spend half a day trying to find the English section. Such a shame that this guide doesn't come in (an environmentally sound) two separate covers; one in English and one in Welsh. I think the layout is much confused with doubling up on the text in two different languages. Two separate guides would be much more compact, thereby making them easier and lighter to carry as a reference. When you are looking for that section which describes where you need to go next you spend additional time locating the bit in English (or Welsh presumably), which, I think, detracts from its value. When I try the guide out next week, I shall see if the annoyance is worth it for the value the guide brings in route-finding.

Ticket to ride

This guide is the one to get your hands on if you need a bit of help finding your way around the trails of Snowdonia. I've only REALLY used it for the Marin trail at the moment, but it's paid me back on several occasions for that one trail alone.
The guide gives you flexibility that comes from knowing where you are and where you are going to.
It's well laid out, and easy to understand, with a good selection of basic to advanced rides that should keep the majority of riders happy.
