I subscribe to Erik the Black's blog. He has just posted a very interesting article with itineraries on how to hike 15 miles (24ks), 25 miles (40ks) and 30 miles (48ks) at day!
Of course this begs the question, "Do you really want to do that?" Sometimes you may have to.
See Erik's itineraries here http://blackwoodspress.com/blog/20401/how-to-hike-15-to-30-miles-a-day/
I get tired reading them :-)

Te Araroa Trail Book
Just finished Paul Garland's book on his TA Trail experience walking the length of NZ.
It's an excellent book, well written and although expensive in today's literary world I am happy to support Paul. You can checkout contents and purchase at the below website...
