On the 1st July, Raglan Ramblers will be journeying to Kakepuku, the 449 metre former volcano rising from the plain near Te Awamutu to the lookout tower shown in the photo. Kakepuku is in a line of volcanoes with Karioi and Pirongia. There is now a well formed track, which passes through this waharoa. Please bring your lunch.

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/. All walks start at 9am from the James St/ Wallis St corner near Catholic church.

Each “Rambler” accepts responsibility for any accident or injury received while travelling, or walking over private property. Be prepared – carry enough food, clothing, first aid kit for emergencies and preferably a mobile phone.
