We’re rounding out the year with a Scroggin-style episode of Tararua Fever.
Kent and I kick things off with a quick recap of the year that’s been for the podcast, reflecting on the season in a couple of minutes (give or take). We also announce a very loosely organised photo competition, so start sending through your favourite snaps from the Tararua Ranges and beyond — judges and prizes to be announced in the new year.
We’re then joined by Bevan Smith from the NZ Mountain Safety Council, who talks through some of the key do’s and don’ts for summer tramping, covering practical safety considerations for anyone heading into the hills over the break.
We wrap things up with a few thank yous to everyone who’s helped make Tararua Fever possible this year.
Thanks for listening, stay safe out there, and we’re looking forward to getting back into it in 2026.
