As well as re-traveling and revising the original 77 routes, the authors have now included 30 new ones from all over the South Island. The tracks move though farmland and bush valleys, climb to the crater rims of Banks Peninsula, follow historic stagecoach or stock routes, wind through beech forests and ancient rainforests, across the blasted, treeless tussock lands of Otago and up and down Canterbury' S braided rivers. Some of them will challenge even the most intrepid adventurer, while others will serve as an introduction for the newcomer to the wonderful world of four-wheel-driving. For those new to the series, this book is for those of you who own a 4WD or are planning to buy or rent one and are itching to put it to the test greater than the battle of the supermarket parking lot. It will tell you not only how to get to some of the South Island's finest 'wild places', but more important, how to get home again safely. The guide to competent off-road driving in Park One, which has been expanded and updated, covers everything you will need to know about your vehicle, driving techniques for difficult terrain, recovering a vehicle in trouble - and it offers lots more down-to-earth and practical advice. Get off the beaten track - and see the best of the beautiful South Island.« less
