Book Description
There is an extraordinary range of landscape and walking challenges in 202 Great Walks. You can saunter by a steaming Rotorua lake, through limestone archways in the King Country, or along an historic Maori trail to the top of the Kaimai Ranges. There is an island sanctuary at Stewart Island, or goldminers' tunnels in the Coromandel. For something a little different, try the winding stroll that explores Wellington's downtown, or in the deep south a beach walk explores a lonely Catlins coast, troubled by the ruins of a gold dredge and the strange wobble of quicksand. There are all types of walks for all types of people: from those that suit families, to those that are real leg-stretchers, walking times range from 1–2 hours to 5–6 hours, but all longer walks have a shorter 1–2 hour turn-around option. Every walk has notes on track conditions, walking time and distance, and access and facilities, along with a topographical map. First published in 2003 and now into its third edition, 202 Great Walks really is the most affordable, reliable and comprehensive guide to New Zealand's outdoors.

Book Description
CANTERBURY FOOTHILLS AND FORESTS is very well researched and written, illustrated with numerous good colour photographs and maps, and caters to the 'one day I'll do it' market as well as to the serious walker/tramper and not a few tourists. Pat Barrett, a very experienced tramper - and a superb photographer - has drawn together for the first time all the marked walking tracks, huts and recognised tramping routes of the foothills region, many of which have never before been documented in this form. Every route is graded (from easy to super-hard) with an estimate of the walking time involved. Other details include access information (including phone numbers for landowners where applicable), descriptions of the best route available, and notes on the attractions of the particular track/peak, the weather and terrain, and equipment you'd need to carry.
