On the 13th March, Raglan Ramblers will be back on the Kaitoke Walkway. It is just over 2km, but they usually walk about 8km, including beaches and other paths and roads in town. The walkway has several views, such as the in the photo of Karioi, and passes the remains of George Rutherford’s (brother of Sir Ernest) flax mill, which was powered by a small Cornish boiler. Then they’ll have a catered lunch and plan our walks for the next 6 months to the end of September. Do you know a place we might walk, or could you lead a walk?
There is no membership – the only cost is 10 cents per km to share travel costs. Details from John 825 7866. Most 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.
