Hi
Anyone got any books re a UK circumnavigation they no longer require, (Or would recommend).
And any tips/suggestions welcome.
Anyone done it recently?

Thanks in advance
 
Can recommend Sailing around the UK and Ireland by Roger Oliver (Sadler 25). Good all-round reference and pilot guide for any small yacht sailor thinking of doing this trip, as I did myself in 2104 in my Sadler 26). My copy was published by Adlard Coles Nautical in 2009 and I believe is still available.
 
Having tried it I can say most budgets are rubbish.
The rest is expect the worst and plan accordingly.
Go for electronic charts on a chart plotter.
Get your NAVTEX working.
Calibrate your depth sounder and get you tide calculations right.
