We’re back again — and sorry for the wait folks!
On this episode of Tararua Fever, we set out with plans to tackle the Dundas Range… but the Tararuas had other ideas.
With the range throwing up its usual mix of weather and uncertainty, the trip quickly becomes about reading conditions, making calls, and figuring out what’s actually worth pushing for — with a bit of running commentary from us along the way.
We then have Allen back on, not for Knob of the Week, but his brand new segment: What's it All About? — one for the novice tramper.
And finally, we catch up with Derrick Field — one of the legends of the Tararua Ranges — to hear about his experiences in the hills, his work with the GWBN, and more.
Side effects of Tararua Fever may include wet boots, questionable calls, and a strong urge to go again. Enjoy responsibly!
