Jun 28: Raglan Ramblers walking in Pakoka River area

Natural arch by Pakoka River

On June 28th Raglan Ramblers will be walking in the Pakoka River area. This is a six kilometre walk by the river and up the hill, with views of Aotea harbour, fluted cliffs and the natural arch shown in the photo. The rocks are mainly late Whaingaroan Ahirau Sandstone formed about 28 million years ago. Although classified as sandstone, it looks more like limestone. Please bring your lunch.

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.
