The reality for most trampers is that their tramping often has to be fit into weekends. In recognition of this, Shaun Barnett, one of New Zealand's leading tramping authors, has collected together the best of the North Island's 2-3 day tramping trips. These trips, selected from all over the North Island, range in difficulty to ensure that there are tramps for every ability. Essential information on length, grade, time, suitable maps, access and sources of information are provided for each tramp. This is followed by a more detailed description of the trip and what you might expect to experience. The book is heavily illustrated, with colour reference maps for each section, and the author's stunning photographs throughout.
Areas covered include: Northland (Cape Brett), Auckland (2 tramps), Waikato (2 tramps), Coromandel, Bay of Plenty (2), East Coast (5), Taranaki (3), Central North Island (6), Rangitaiki (3), Hawkes Bay (4), Manawatu/Rangitikei (5), Taranaki/Wanganui (2), Wairarapa/Horowhenua (4) and Wellington (3).
Shaun Barnett is a former editor of New Zealand Wilderenss magazine, is the co-author of the Montana Book Award winning Classic Tramping in New Zealand and the author of Natural New Zealand. Companion volume to South Island Weekend Tramps.
