On the third of April, Raglan Ramblers will be heading up Vandy Road to the Te Uku windfarm. This is the shortest route to the top on an old road, which was started in the 1890s, but never completed. It hasn’t been maintained since the 1930s, so it may be muddy, depending how accurate the long term weather forecast
is. There is a mix of bush and good views, as well as the huge 130.5 m. high, 2.2MW turbines. Please bring your lunch.

Walks usually start 9 am, Wednesdays, from James St near the Catholic Church and the intersection with Wallis St.

There is no membership – the only cost is 10 cents per km to share travel costs. Details from John 825 7866. Check out Raglan Ramblers on Facebook-https://www.facebook.com/RaglanRamblers/.
