On the 4th November will be walking around Lake Ngaroto peat lake, near Te Awamutu, on the six kilometre track.
Then there will be a much shorter walk to visit the nearby 14.5 ha Yarndleys Bush, gazetted as a Scenic Reserve in 1992, on account of being a remnant of once plentiful kahikatea bush. The trees in the reserve average a height of 35 metres, with ferns, grass, mahoe, mangahonge, pukatea, wheki, ponga and mapou also growing there. 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.
