On the 24th January, Raglan Ramblers are visiting Pirongia for a walk to either the tallest Kahikatea (long), or Nikau Loop (short). The long walk is a 13 kilometre walk through the valley, mostly through bush and alongside streams, to see the 66.5m high tree and also a hollow tree – bring lunch and a torch if you want to go in the short cave.
There is no membership – the only cost is 10 cents per km to share travel costs. Details from John 825 7866. Most 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.
