Over half of NZ primary kids are driven to school.
Most journeys to school would take less then 20 minutes to walk.
It takes about 1250 steps and 10 minutes for a primary student to walk 1 km.
If you took 10,000 steps per day it would take you 279 days to walk from the top of New Zealand to the bottom, that's 2232km.
