About this word search
The Tongariro Alpine Crossing runs through volcanic country between Mount Tongariro and Ngāuruhoe, and the Routeburn, the Kepler and the Heaphy are Great Walks. Before a trip, trampers leave their intentions with someone at home, and many carry a personal locator beacon.
The grid is eighteen by eighteen and the words run in all eight directions. Tongariro Crossing is the longest at seventeen letters, then dehydrated meals at fifteen. Map is only three. Hut book and hut warden both start with HUT, so look at what follows. Look for the Y in Heaphy and billy and the double G in scroggin.
Ask older trampers to mark the Great Walks on a map of New Zealand and find out how many days each one takes.
