Going the Distance, Women Outdoors in NZ
by Tess Redgrave, photographs by Becky Nunes, 160pp limpbound, Tandem Press, Auckland 2002, RRP $34.95. Tess Redgrave began these adventures through the pages of Next magazine and has extended them to cover 10 not-too-difficult journeys from Fiordland to Cape Reinga. Her feminism flavours the stories, travelling mainly with women, reflecting interestingly along the way on the experiences of pioneer women travellers, and writers (such as Katherine Mansfield, in Te Urewera and Janet Frame, while cycling in the Maniototo). She takes the reader along using the present tense. ‘The outdoors has come to symbolise a place I go for refuge: to be renewed, nourished and
