Thirty-five years in the making, the trail officially opened in late 2011. The book maps the 3000-kilometre trail in 40-kilometre sections, with maps by leading map maker Roger Smith of Geographx. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor 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. Chapple, the founder of the trail, complements the maps with a running commentary describing the landscape, the flora and fauna encountered along the way, as well as the special features of particular parts of the trail. Photographs of the trail illustrate each section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach of the nine regional sections opens with a stunning 2-page 3D map.   A short introduction describes the history of the trail as well as the variety of New Zealand's landscape along the way: forest, farmland, volcanoes and mountain passes, river valleys, green pathways and the urban areas of seven cities.  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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpdated in 2013, 2014 and again in December 2016 to incorporate route changes.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48150391029918,"sku":"UBD-9781869797140","price":44.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781869797140.jpg?v=1786964708","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781869797140","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
