A Walking Guide to New Zealand's Long Trail: Te Araroa

This is the guidebook of Te Araroa Trail: The Long Pathway, a continuous trail running from Cape Reinga to Bluff, 35 years in the making, which officially opened in late 2011. The book maps the 3000-kilometer trail in 40-kilometer sections, with maps by leading map maker Roger Smith of Geographx. Author Geoff Chapple is a modern-day visionary who took the concept of a continuous trail running the length of New Zealand and turned it into a reality. 

This book is an accessible guide both for those who only want to walk parts of the trail and dedicated trampers who intend to walk its entire length.
