Driving a 4WD vehicle makes it possible for people of all ages and levels of ability to experience the magic of New Zealand's back country. But it is not always easy to know just where you can go in your 4WD: as well as questions of safety and right of access about particular routes, it could be that you are simply not aware of their existence!
4WD North Island
gives detailed descriptions of 95 North Island roads and tracks, all of them open to the public but inaccessible to two-wheel drive vehicles.
Each is presented with its own map (and grid references to topographical maps) and an accompanying text describing the degree of difficulty, likely hazards and the sights to be seen along the way. The routes range in difficulty from those easy enough to be tackled by a 4WD car to real 'hard yakka' - tracks that are challenging enough for the most ardent enthusiast.

Most of New Zealand’s population of nearly 4 million people live within 75 kilometres or less of the coast and are thus intimately acquainted with their own section of the country’s long narrow shape and its many offshore islands.

Coastlines of New Zealand pays tribute to this country’s extensive and hugely diverse seaboard, ranging from sunny sheltered beaches in the north through to the remote, but magnificently wild coastal cliffs and fiords in the south.

Summer, 1981. A young Neville Peat set out from Cape Reinga on his new 10-speed bike 'Blue', aiming to cycle through small-town New Zealand from north to south, all the way to Stewart Island. The week before Easter, he reached his destination. He wrote a book about it, Detours: A journey through small-town New Zealand, which sold lots of copies and was broadcast on radio. Many times in the intervening years, usually on anniversaries of the journey , ten years, fifteen years, twenty years - he wished to try a repeat journey, but life held other challenges. Now, as a leading author and in the age of the personal computer and cell phone, a very different world, he has revisited many of the towns and regions, not on a bicycle, but by car. In Detours - A generation on, he reflects once again on how small-town New Zealand is doing.
