A brief fact file for each tramp covers information on access, level of difficulty and number of days, and a map shows the route taken so those with sufficient experience can repeat these journeys of discovery. The book also includes a chapter on trip planning and a very interesting section on those icons of the New Zealand bush - mountain huts.
This is a book that will appeal to all who have a love of the outdoors, from climbers and trampers to familites and visitors to New Zealand.
