On the 11th September, Raglan Ramblers are visiting Te Kaha Point (Mussel Rock). This seven kilometre walk has views over Raglan, plus limestone stacks, a beach, 60 metre high dunes (rich enough in iron to be considered for a steelworks in the 1960s). As well as these features there are lakes, streams, cave and basalt rock. These are over an area that still has evidence that a population larger than Raglan’s once lived here.
Ramblers says that with low tide at about 2pm, they may go a bit further up the beach than usual and get back a bit later, so bring lunch and $10 boat fare.
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.
