Books: A Walk a Day, New Zealand on Foot and Wild Auckland

Keen outdoorsman and author Peter Janssen’s popular guide to short walks around the country has been revised and updated to include 12 new entries.

With every walk in the book able to be completed in under three hours, it suits anyone who enjoys walking but is short on time or doesn’t want a long tramp with heavy boots and a pack.

Janssen combines essential details such as a summary of the route, access and walking times, with engaging descriptions and anecdotes on the history and points of interest along the tracks.
