Wander: New Zealand's Private Walks - Gary Patterson

Wander is the only book in print to capture New Zealand’s private walks — a travel companion as beautiful to browse as it is useful in your pack. Inside, you’ll find professional photography, detailed maps, track descriptions and weblinks. Each chapter carries a personal touch, a page written in the host’s own words, welcoming you to their place. The book works hand-in-hand with the existing Private Walks NZ’s app and website; once inspired, planning your adventure is easy.

This isn't a generic guidebook. I've walked every track in these pages myself — boots, blisters and all. You'll get maps, elevation profiles, and honest track notes for each of the 26 walks, plus a welcome from each host: the people who share their private land with walkers. It's been printed and bound right here in Canterbury; this book is inspiring and helps you choose, plan, and go.
