Description
In 2011 a 3,000 km long walking trail was opened in New Zealand.
Geoff Chapple had spent years lobbying for the creation of Te Araroa. He’d written articles in newspapers and tested out routes in the country's rugged landscape.
The process of exploring where it could go sometimes put him in danger as he tells Alex Collins.
