This looks like an essential buy....

If it's the one I'm thinking of we had some "interesting" discussions with the author when he was trying to research it.

Good luck to him though, looks like a quality book, although I still question the wisdom of tour guides.

Ordered Tuesday and copy arrived today so put it straight into action. Yes - it is a bit tour-guidey. It covers EH/officially open sites/sites that are abandoned but commonly accessible and some what we would consider to be urbex sites. It's got a lot of useful info in and is really useful for those of us that have kids and need to do 'child friendly' explores from time to time. Certainly a useful addition to the information resources and one that I will use. At £17.95 inc P&P you can't grumble at the price either.
