On the 20th September, Raglan Ramblers will return to the Nikau walk and Kaniwhaniwha cave at the foot of Pirongia. As well as nikau palms, there’s also many other trees and a rushing stream. If the weather’s good we might also go on to look at the tallest kahikatea, further up the valley, so bring lunch. And make sure you bring your torch for the cave.

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
