140: Off-Track Tramping to the Unknown in Rockburn Valley with Sarah Morrison

Sarah Morrison shares about an epic off-track tramp to Lake Unknown, Park Pass Glacier and Lake Nerine in the Rockburn Valley. Her love for tramping started in the Auckland Uni Tramping club with some questionable adventures like stream-bashing and long, late-night drives. Now based in central Otago, she gets out every weekend tramping, mountaineering or tramping. Sarah shares about a six-day adventure planned in under 24 hours to the Rockburn Valley and some untouched buckelist scenery. The rough terrain was a challenge, including a 13 hour day when the weather was about to turn. She shares tips for beginners, what to pack for a multi-day trip and the importance of upskilling and gaining confidence in the outdoors.
