Nine Great Walks in nine weeks… it could be you.

 

Air New Zealand has joined forces with New Zealand’s Department of Conservation to protect and enhance some of New Zealand’s most inspiring natural environments.  Together we are on a global search for keen walkers to get amongst it and take on all of New Zealand’s nine Great Walks in nine weeks.

 

A great idea and a project of the International Federation of Pedestrians

When streets are dead-end for cars but are open for pedestrians as well as cyclists we label them living-end-streets.

I can't believe how useful this iPhone application is.  Anywhere in NZ I can take a photo of the street problem (car on path, overhanging trees), write a description the phone uses GPS to tell where I am.  Press REPORT and it will send it to the council in charge of that area.  And it works well.

A must use for any walking advocate
