The New Zealand outdoors is this country's greatest resource, not least because it is so varied and accessible to every one, no matter what your age or level of fitness.

In compiling this collection of stories journalist Colin Moore has just one aim: to inspire as many Kiwis as possible to get outside and into some outdoor adventures of their own. Outdoors in New Zealand is crammed full of exciting ideas for what to do and where to do it. Whether it's tramping, kayaking, skiing, climbing, mountain-biking, fishing or any one of a whole lot of other outdoor-based activities, don't just sit there reading about it - get out there and do it, too! You won't be sorry.
