On the 28th July, Raglan Ramblers will be climbing Kakepuku, the 449 metre former volcano rising from the plain near Te Awamutu to the lookout tower. Kakepuku is in a line of volcanoes with Karioi and Pirongia. There is now a well- formed track, which passes through a 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.
