because of all the new stuff and improvements. all the areas that had no changes remained the same but there are new areas and routes + old routes from older guides that have pretty pictures now and easy access maps etc etc etc.

the old guide book was good so why would they change the format....

grades ranging from 12-33..... maybe lower and higher i havnt looked that much yet.

The old guides are pretty average compared to the 2007 and 2010 guides.
If your still happy with the 1999 guide why did you buy the 2002 and 2007 guide and that will probably answer you question about the 2010 guide
