Accessible Walks: A Guide to the Scenic Walks in the South Island of New Zealand
by Anna Jameson and Andrew Jameson, 112pp limpbound, MadYeti Publications, PO Box 5216, Invercargill, Invercargill 2000, RRP$25.95 plus $4 postage. Anna Jameson is a wheelchair wanderer. Her selection of : southern walks accessible this way will be of interest to anyone unable to get about freely, or taking a child in a pushchair. Many of her experiences suggest wheelchair ‘walking’ can be a fairly challenging way to enjoy the wild outdoors, however, and best tackled young. There are 90 walks identified, graded according to the amount of effort involved and whether someone is also needed to give a push in places. Words like ‘steep’ ‘narrow and ‘awkward gates’ occur frequently, which is challenging but worthwhile information.
