North to South on the Te Araroa Trail

During the summer of 2017 Stefan Fairweather took six months off work to walk the Te Araroa Trail. He is now publishing a book about his journey.

The project is self-published and 5% of all profits will go to each of the Te Araroa Trust, The Royal Forest and Bird Society, and the Federated Mountain Clubs (FMC) of NZ.

The book will be printed and ready for distribution at the end of November/start of December 2018. You can read about the book on the PledgeMe site where you can order copies of this limited edition book.
