On the 4th May, Raglan Ramblers will be visiting Mussel Rock. This is a five kilometre walk on the Northern side of the harbour with views over Raglan and limestone stacks. On the beach there are sixty metre high dunes (rich enough in iron to be considered for a steelworks in the 1960s). There are also lakes, streams, a cave and basalt rock. All this over an area that still has evidence that a population larger than Raglan’s once lived here once. Please bring your lunch and boat fare.

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.
