Link removed from post since it was potentially dodgy

Hi all,
First post here, so apologies if it’s in the wrong place.
As the subject suggests, I’m looking to source the guidebook for Jersey as we’re planning a holiday in the summer and from looking at the supplement on UKC, there’s plenty for all.
I’ve googled loads, and thought I had found a winner with a pdf download site, last commented on just a few months ago,

, but can’t get it to sign up correctly and these just link to sites that require CC validation and I’m not too happy about such sites. Further browsing resulted in minimal success, both hard and digital copies coming up empty.
Anyway, anyone have a copy that I could purchase or send if digitial? Or does anyone know if there is a shop that still has stock?!
Other suggestions appreciated!

I might have an old copy kicking around in the loft somewhere. Let me have a look and get back to you.

Speaking from a one week holiday experience last summer:

It's worth joining the the 'Jersey Climbs' facebook group, Kevin Eloury who writes the guidebooks is very active on there, as are many other locals.

I don't think he will mind me suggesting you pop him a facebook message or posting on the group to try get hold of a book + the newer supplementary information, before or when you arrive. (I picked one up from his house and had a great chat about the jersey climbing scene)

The island is beautiful, the rock is fantastic and the grading is exciting, enjoy!

Yep, Kevin Eloury is your man. He's on FB as are their local club

Or you could come to Guernsey ("the thinking man's Jersey"), in which case SteveD and I can help you out.  The original joint island guidebook is well out of print but there's more than enough for both islands in it if you can find a copy of that instead.

If you pop into the library in St Helier when you arrive they will have copies of the guidebook

Thanks all for your help with this, just have to work out how to get the kids off to bed early some nights now!

Reading the FB site, is Kevin hoping to release a new guidebook? There was mention of an imminent release on one of Kevin's posts so guessing this will be similar to the out-of-print, with more topos and likely contain the 'supplement' climbs that appears on JerseyClimbs.com, or is the supplement the imminent release?

Thanks again folks. Stay safe out there!
