Routes, Glutes and Two Pairs of Boots: A young woman's journey through the wilds of Aotearoa

Holly Kipling was a month shy of seventeen when she first heard of Te Araroa, New Zealand's long distance trail. Three years later, she set off from Cape Reinga to begin her four and a half month journey south through the wilds of Aotearoa.
As an outdoor instructor, Holly was no stranger to the wilderness, but with no expeditions longer than eight days under her belt, she had a lot to learn along the way.
Routes, Glutes and Two Pairs of Boots is a story of discovery, resilience and a love for untamed places.
