This amazing little outdoor adventure book is a collection of fun filled walks and other activities book, put together by Ceana Priest. When her child was young she struggled to find outdoor trails around Hamilton and the Waikato which gave access to a stroller. Realising she would not be the only parent of a young /or older children, who was wanting to explore the outdoors  in 2018 she published ,  “ Hamilton and Waikato – 100 amazing adventures” .

This book includes Hamilton, North Waikato Waipa, East Waikato and West Waikato. A total of 108 tracks – a selection of different grades. There are small explanations of each walk with associated information such as how to access, time to walk, availability of toilets, are dogs allowed etc. Providing relevant information on which to base your choice. “Will this activity be ok for my family?”

I found this an amazing little guide book. Definitely value for money. With its inviting layout it tends to motivate “anyone” to get out and enjoy nature.
