| Fri 30th May - Mon 2nd June Kings Birthday Kawhia (aka Raglan Road Trip) All Janet Wilson 06 329 4722 The 2025 “Coastal Classic” trip will be heading to Kawhia. The harbour looks beautiful and there are hot pools to be dug out on the coast, fishing and kayaking. Mount Pirongia is not that far away for tramping and there are bound to be other interesting local walks. Depending on interest, we will stay at one of the camping grounds/cabin or possibly a bach. We will drive up the back roads via Marokopa and return via Raglan. If you think you might be interested in this extended holiday weekend trip (until either 2 or 3 June) then let Janet know asap so a plan can be made and suitable accommodation can be booked nice and early. |
