Pocket Guide Book for West Coast Wilderness Trail
A new pocket-size official guidebook was launched over the summer by the West Coast Wilderness Trail Trust. The Guide covers all the information riders need to know about riding the trail. It includes important information on health and safety and reporting hazards and incidents, providing rider feedback and how to make donations. There is commentary on all the trail sections and the attractions, features and history of locations along the way, and native flora and fauna.
“Much work by a number of people has gone into the book and the comprehensive information in it and we have appreciated all the support” West Coast Wilderness Trail Manager Jackie Gurden reported. “It is packed with information and photos of the various sections and highlights along the way. With keeping it small, we hope that riders will be more likely to purchase it, carry it with them and pull it out as they work their way through the different highlights along the trail.”
Retailing at $20, the guide is available on the trail website, at the Greymouth and Hokitika i-sites and from various businesses associated with the trail. All proceeds go back into the Trust to assist with trail enhancements.
