On the 27th January, Raglan Ramblers will be heading off to view the tallest kahikatea at Pirongia. This is a thirteen kilometre walk through the valley, mostly through bush and alongside streams, to see the 66.5m high kahikatea tree. This is the tallest recorded native tree in New Zealand. There is also a hollow tree on the walk. 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.
