Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: Good. Nunes, Becky (illustrator). 160 pages. Cover worn.Sea-kayaking in the Hauraki Gulf, mount ain-biking in the Maniototo, horse-trekking in the Urewera, canoe ing on the Whanganui River, camping and tramping are some of the activities in this book encouraging women to venture into the out doors. Travel journalist Tess Redgrave and award-winning photogra pher Becky Nunes left their comfortable, Auckland urban lives to make the ten journeys described in their inspirational book. * Fi ordland * Catlins, Southland * Otago Central Rail Trail * Port Pe gasus, Stewart Island * Tora Walkway, South Wairarapa * Whanganui River, Central North Island * Te Urewera, East North Island * Ea stern Bay of Plenty * * Rangitoto and Motutapu Islands * Cape Rei nga, Far North All the practical information required to embark o n each of these journeys - maps, gear lists, contact details of o perators - is included at the end of each chapter together with a list of futher reading, both historical and contemporary. Althou gh women have always 'gone outdoors' in New Zealand, in the last 10 to 15 years they have started to go out in droves and there ar e now operators offering opportunities both for those who want to be challenged to their physical limits and for those seeking a m ore gentle meander through the land. The journeys in Going the Di stance are medium adrenalin and should be accessible to women of all ages and reasonable fitness. Another dimension is added to se veral stories where the modern day journey is layered over the to p of an early colonial woman's experience. For example the seven- day sea voyage from Doubtful Sound to Preservation Inlet was insp ired by the 1898 trip of 2 Victorian travellers. The account of t heir journey makes an interesting contrast as does Katherine Mans field's The Urewera Notebook which accompanies Tess and Becky on their horse-trek into the same country. These personal stories ca pture the essence of the journeys - the human side of the experie nce and the women's response to the environment. From venturing i nto the sub-Antarctic ocean to kayak in Stewart Island to trampin g in the far-north they are challenged by the elements, however t heir adventures illustrate the joy and satisfaction to be gained by going outside one's comfort zone and heading into the outdoors . 130 colour photographs illustrate the stories and entice the re ader to explore further. 'These stories are about journeying 'dis tances' in the widest sense - through a physical landscape, follo wing the paths of those who've gone before. But they are also abo ut distances travelled with other people and with oneself. As can often be true of the outdoor experience: sometimes the more diff icult the journey, the greater the distance travelled.' Tess Redg rave. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 208q
