Are you ready for adventure?! This book is the ultimate tramping journal for kids and the young at heart!
This journal contains all you need to know to head out on your first overnight tramp, as well as space to record your adventure and how it went!
While this journal has been designed especially for 5 - 12 year olds, older kids and the young at heart will also love filling it in and keeping a record of their adventures. Younger kids will love it too, they'll just need help with the writing. A great way to remember those great trips!

- Specific information, tips, and tricks for 24 of the South Island's most kid-friendly huts
