New Font guide
May 05, 2006, 11:44:38 am
A new Font guide by the makers of the purple circuit based guide (published 1999). This one concentrating on 6 to 8 grade probs off the circuits.

Details: http://bleau.info/shop/horspiste.html

No mention of an English language version yet on the site, but they did a translated version of the last one….

Ken has produced an English translation. I've seen some proof pages - similar in style to the purple book, but with improved maps.

It should be out in the shops very soon.

Whoever accused Ken of being a hair-shirted traditionalist?
Last time I was at cuvier he was sessioning eliminate dynos in a hawaiian shirt.

I've had a real strugle to get logged back in to UKB, using the wrong e-mail address, doh!

Anyway, I have the new guide and frankly it looks pretty superb.

It does have a different picture on the cover.

Have to wait until October before I can road test it though  :'(
