On Wedneesday the 2nd April, Raglan Ramblers will be on Mt Pirongia. This is a 12km walk from Cochrane Rd (351 metes) to the Summit, which at 959 metres is the highest point in the Waikato. There are good views and interesting plants such as Dactylanthus Taylori and pahautea trees. You’ll need to bring your lunch for this one.
Walks usually start 9am Wednesdays from Wainui Rd car park (next to Raglan Fire Station). 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
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.
