On the 6th June, Raglan Ramblers are walking the Cascades in the Hakarimata hills. There will be a climb up in podocarp bush from the Cascades rail trail (converted from a railway closed in 1958) to the 374 metre summit viewing tower. From the tower there are views looking over Ngaruawahia and the Waikato. The descent will take them down 300 metres of steps to the tree-lined 1923 reservoir and more waterfalls. Please bring your lunch.
Walks usually start 9 am, 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-https://www.facebook.com/RaglanRamblers/ .
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.
