What charts do we need?

[MarcJ]

Yes we'll have charts and compasses - everything else is back up - ie Humminbird sounder/gps, laptop, tablet & smart phone

Navigation is a doddle; if you can read a map (and you sound like outdoorsy type people so I assume you can), you can read a chart.

Keep off the hard bits and away from the shallow bits and you'll be mostly fine.

Oh good, thanks for that advice, I'd better dump the dayjob I had, teaching people how to navigate then!

If your coming from Nantwich/Liverpool area, get an Admiralty charts(s) for the river Mersey as well. Make sure you have tides with you whether you outside of Anglesy or through the Menai. Pwllhelli is a good stopover, Aberystwyth is great (but I gather pricey) and the boat club is very welcoming.
