On the 18th November, Raglan Ramblers will be climbing Te Akatea-Pongawhakatiki. It is a nine kilometre track to the top of the pointed 309 metre hill behind Waingaro. It is made of Pongawhakatiki siltstone and formed about 188 million years ago (Ururoan). From the top there are views of Karioi, Whaingaroa harbour, Huntly, Kakepuku and many other hills. Below is an area of regenerating bush, assisted by funding from the Emissions Trading Scheme. 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/. All 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.
