Thinking of cycling or hiking the Old Ghost Road? Spirit to the Stone is essential reading before – or during – your adventure.

978-0-473-35377-3The second, fully revised edition of Marion Boatwright’s rousing account of building the Old Ghost Road is out now, with a portion of proceeds going towards the trail’s maintenance.

We edited and published this second edition of Marion’s book as a contribution to the trail, in co-operation with The Mokihinui–Lyell Backcountry Trust. If you want to know more about the trail, ask us – we’ve ridden it, nearly twice!

A story of true grit and persistence, yes, but more than that this story speaks to one of the most compelling facets of Kiwi spirit, the refusal to view something as ‘impossible’. Vicki Woolley, Kiwi Trail Runner
