Essential information on length, grade, time, suitable maps and access are provided for each tramp. This is followed by a more detailed description of the trip and what you might expect to see and experience. The book is heavily illustrated, with colour reference maps for each section and the author's stunning photographs throughout. Areas covered: Nelson Marlborough (9 tramps), Lewis Pass (5 tramps), West Coast (10), Kaikoura (2), Arthur's Pass/Canterbury (11), Mt. Aspiring/Otago (4) and Fiordland/Southland (6).
