049: Tramping the Dusky Track in Fiordland with Sam Harrison

After waiting a while for the right weather window, Sam Harrison hiked the Dusky Track in Fiordland with a few mates. The 84 km, eleven day backcountry route between Lake Hauroko and Lake Manapouri is for experienced and well equipped trampers. Sam opted to do an extra out-and-back detour into Dusky Sound, where they had a rest day, fishing, relaxing and fending off the sandflies. Based in Wellington, Sam spends his weekends tramping in the Tararua and Ruahine ranges closer to home. Sam shares advice for keen trampers that are ready to take things to the next level and get off the beaten track. He talks about what food to take and how to meet other trampers, because some adventures are best shared.
