About this title.
True South presents a graphic account of tramper Pat Barrett's exploration of the South Island's wild hinterland. Through a collection of trips into the hills he offers a personal insight into his experience of the magnificent landscapes there. Stunning photgraphic images complement the text and allow vicarious adventurers and enthusiastic trampers to enter into the awesomeness of New Zealand's natural heritage.
A brief fact file for each tramp covers information on access, level of difficulty and number of days, and a map shows the route taken so those with sufficient experience can repeat these journeys of discovery. The book also includes a chapter on trip planning and a very interesting section on those icons of the New Zealand bush - mountain huts.
This is a book that will appeal to all who have a love of the outdoors, from climbers and trampers to familites and visitors to New Zealand.
