Show Notes
Welcome to the first episode of Scroggin, the quick snack between the main Tararua Fever episodes to keep you satiated. On this first ep, I have a small update on the ‘expecting’ situation from the previous episodes baby shower tramp. I also cover a little bit of what we consider might be hot on the Tararua Facebook Forum by way of a photo library of huts current and historic and how it links well to episode 9, Shelter from the Storm. Finally, as always we have a quick guest, my friend Ben, c...

This episode we're doing something a little different and venturing beyond the boundaries of the Tararua Ranges. We're joined by returning guest Jonty Crane from The Tramping Life podcast to chat about his recent crossing of the rugged Aorangi Range. We hear what makes the range so unique, how it compares to the Tararua Ranges, and why this wild corner of the lower North Island deserves a spot on every tramper's bucket list. Then in Walk N' Talk, we turn our attention back to the Tararua Rang...
Fresh out of the Scroggin bag, we're back with another bonus episode of Tararua Fever (thanks for waiting)!
