Footnotes 20 Classic NZ Tramps by Ray Salisbury

Beautifully illustrated with stunning landscape images and detailed maps, this book describes 20 classic tramping tracks in the backcountry of New Zealand. It's not a guide book; it's a bucket list to inspire the reader's own unique, once-in-a-lifetime adventures into far flung corners of Aotearoa. The author gives his own evocative accounts of tramping these quintessentially Kiwi, timeless tracks.
