Update:
This week we are going to the Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari reserve at Pukeatua.
For those who want to walk around the enclosed reserve there is a charge of $25 for adults, $22.50 for gold card holders. There may be a group concession available.
For those who want to do the more challenging walk on the traverse track (toward the summit and back) there is no charge. We suggest that this group take the locator beacon. Whoever has this would you please bring it along.
Meeting in James St as usual and bring lunch. The drive to the visitor centre in Tari Rd takes approximately 1 ¼ hours.
On the 21st June Raglan Ramblers will be visiting Maungatautari. The 3400 hectares, around the mountain, surrounded by 47 kilometres of pest-proof fence, increases the chances of seeing and hearing birds. Ramblers say they’ll split into an energetic group, to climb the mountain and get views, and strollers, doing more watching and listening. 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/. Most walks start at 9am from the James St/ Wallis St corner near Catholic church.
