walking . is . overrated

Following on from this post regarding the whereabouts of accessible walks, trails, and other such nature-related journeys throughout our beautiful country, one reader recommended I check out “Accessible Walks: A guide to scenic walks in the South Island of New Zealand“. Written by siblings Anna and Andrew Jameson, of whom Anna is disabled, it acts as a comprehensive guidebook to all the breathtaking scenic walks the South Island has to offer.

Accessible Walks provides information about each walk’s gradient, track surface, and obstacles; availability and accessibility of toilets; and parking and scenic attractions. Difficulty gradings are provided, for a quick estimate of what each walk involves. The 120 page book has a very user-friendly layout and each walk is illustrated with a colour photo. The book is A5 size and easy to carry around on the walks.

Priced at only NZ$29.95 including postage, this is a definite must for the disabled traveller thinking of visiting our shores! Check out accessiblewalks.co.nz for more information!
