The story of a youthful adventure coupled with a
thoughtful reflection, of a three-month traverse of the Southern Alps by
pre-eminent New Zealand landscape photographer Craig Potton and three friends
In 1980, pre-eminent New Zealand landscape photographer
Craig Potton, traversed the Southern Alps, a three-month tramping and
mountaineering trip that started at Milford Sound and ended in
Nelson Lakes National Park. Now, over 35 years later, Craig
Potton recounts the experience in So Far, So Good. In part, this is the story
of four friends embarking on a youthful adventure in the mountains, dealing
with all of the challenges that travelling in this environment presents. But it
is also a thoughtful reflection on what it means to spend an extended period of
time in the wilderness. Heavily illustrated with photographs taken on the trip, this is a book for anyone with an
interest in tramping and mountaineering, and the experience of wild places.
CRAIG POTTON is one of New Zealand’s best-known landscape
photographers, and a noted conservationist. He is the author of many New
Zealand books, including the best-selling
New Zealand Aotearoa, Lost in New Zealand, New Zealand’s
Wilderness Heritage (with Les Molloy), Craig Potton New Zealand and Moment and
Memory. Craig’s profile has increased overrecent years, as he has established himself as a TV presenter, with two documentary series on wild rivers and wild coasts screening on prime-time television to widespread acclaim
