After spending a day manning safety point B on the famous Whaanga Coast stage of Rally NZ on 2006, I decided the majestic view and serenely remote location deserved a cache. Well, I was back in the same point for Rally NZ 2007, so it happened.
The Rally drivers travel the 29km of this twisty, gravel road to Raglan in less than 25 minutes, but don’t try that, not with the road open to traffic from both directions, or without the ambulances every 10km, and helicopters overhead.
Do enjoy your drive to this beautiful spot, the route through Te Mata is the easiest (and sealed most of the way), but south from Raglan will show you much of the road the rally stage traverses, and present you the wonderful views of this rugged coast. You will pass a number of caches on the way through also.
This is a simple drive-up-and-reach cache, you are looking for a 1litre sistema box with a log and usual trinkets. As this is rather remote, and may not get too many visitors, please be careful to close the box with nothing caught in the seal.
