Moir's Guide South
Author: Geoff Spearpoint
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780473034320
Category : Fiordland (N.Z.)
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Moir's Guide South is well established as the standard route guide for all tramping tracks and routes in Fiordland National Park and adjacent areas. This is primarily a tramping guide to the valleys and passes; climbing in the Fiordland area is covered in The Darrans Guide (see Mountaineering Guides). Moir's Guide can be likened to Hone Heke's famous axe which had two new heads and three new handles. This sixth edition of Moir's Guide is the result of cumulative efforts by eight different editors and countless contributors over the last 70 years. Moir's Guide Book (Southern Section) was first published in 1925 and ever since has been recognised as the classic guide to the back-packing, tramping and hunting areas of Fiordland and now the Eyre, Snowdon and Takitimu Mountains. This completely revised and updated sixth edition describes every known track and route in these areas including New Zealands most famous walking tracks - the Milford, Routeburn, Hollyford, Greenstone-Caples, and Kepler Tracks. The less well known but equally spectacular Dusky and George Sound Tracks are also covered.The route and track descriptions are matched to the levels of experience parties are likely to have. For the popular tracks the information provided should enable those with little experience to find their way while those travelling through more challenging country will find the route descriptions indispensible. Moir's Guide South also contains essential advice on bushcraft, how to travel through untracked country following deer trails, and what to do should the party become overdue. It concludes with a glossary of New Zealand outdoor terms and a comprehensive index.
