On the 9th May, Raglan Ramblers will be visiting the  Waitetuna organic dairy farm to see how cows can be kept dry and not polluting streams in winter. The associated walk is six kilometres beside the Waitetuna River and Coopers Creek, with a climb to 130 metres for good views from the Koheahea ridge to Pirongia and the windfarm.

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.
