On Wednesday 27th February, Raglan Ramblers will be heading off to the area where the Aotea mission station was built in 1844. It is about a 10km walk to the mission station site, through bush and up to the biggest (600 m long) pa site in the area, with a large stone and views over the harbour and coast .  You’ll need to  bring your lunch for this one.

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
