Strolling down the avenue is not what Kiwis mean by a good walk! Since the early days of our nation, intrepid New Zealanders have put their best feet forward exploring our wonderful, although often rugged, great outdoors.
In Tramping, authors Shaun Barnett and Chris Maclean explain how our love affair with a good old walk has evolved.
From the development of state-sponsored tracks and huts in the 19th century, to the establishment of tramping clubs and, more recently, battles to found and protect national parks, this book explores why we like to hike!
