A guide to 14 long distance walks in both the islands of New Zealand. New Zealand is one of the finest countries in the world to tour on foot. This island's diverse and scenic wild areas make it a paradise for the self-sufficient traveller, known variously as a tramper, backpacker, hiker or bushwalker.
In New Zealand long walks are known as 'tramps' and this book describes the best of them. In North Island, three areas are described including the circuit of Mt Egmont, whilst in the more mountainous South Island there are five areas with eleven popular tracks including the famous Milford Track - one of the classic walks of the world. The author is particularly good at explaining the requirements for walking in New Zealand, the transport and types of accommodation available. New Zealand is one of the finest countries in the world to tour on foot. This island's diverse and scenic wild areas make it a paradise for the self-sufficient traveller, known variously as a tramper, backpacker, hiker or bushwalker. There is additional information on the geographic area of each track, its climate and weather and its history. Notes on each track also provide information on nearby accommodation, available tours or guiding, maps, special equipment needed, and access. This book is meant to encourage people of all ages and nationalities to enjoy the New Zealand country and tracks. Opportunities abound for anyone with a minimum of equipment, a sense of adventure, and a willing spirit.
The rest is up to you!
