Have you ever...
... slept outside under the starry night sky?
... tented on top of a mountain, hoping like heck that the pegs and guy ropes will hold in every violent volley of wind?
...waded into a river and felt the force of the current on your thighs?
...struggled through a mountain storm with zero visibility, trusting entirely on your compass?

This book describes 20 quintessential tracks which have stood the test of time. It's not a guide book; it's a bucket list to inspire your own unique, once in a lifetime adventures into the backcountry of New Zealand. The author gives his own evocative accounts of tramping these classic, timeless tracks.
