Andrew Stevenson takes to the tracks in the hiking heaven of New Zealand's famous wilderness areas. With insight and a gentle humour, he explores the spirit of this spectacular land and its people, provides an illuminating view of his fellow backpackers, and reveals that, however much or little you may have in your rucksack, the heaviest baggage is what you carry inside.
