Actually, your best bet for the Humber/Lower Trent/Lower Ouse is to get a copy direct from ABP, which has proper depth soundings for the whole River. The upper River Humber is done every 3 months, the lower every 6 (I think - it might be a year). Not sure about the river chart frequency, properly 1 year as the tide patterns are more consitantant. See here for chart areas, and availability: http://www.humber.com/Yachting-and-Leisure/General-Information/Charts-Catalogue/index.asp Also has some good res previews.
