The Rise and Fall of the TR Ror Trail in New Zealand

Jeff Chappell is the founder of the TR Ror trail in New Zealand. It has become something of a rite of passage for international tourists. In this podcast, we go back to 1995 when Filipina maid Floor Contemplacion was due to be executed by Singaporean authorities. Millions of Filipinos believed she was innocent and had been let down by their government as an overseas worker. We also hear from George Johnny Johnson who took part in the Dambusters raid in the Second World War, and Pippi Longstocking's backstory.
