Take a Walk (Northland) Traditional Cache

Time to split out my back door
Sunrise dancing on my wall
Heading down off beaten tracks
Try to get that feeling back
I could take a walk again
up a mountain to a stream
Standing on the open rock
Looking out over the sea
Funny when we move ahead
Never worry what we leave behind
I could always find some peace
in the back of beyond
Kind voice from yesterday
Give love fill up every space
but now I laugh at simple truth
Sneer and frown like we all do
When the long night awakes
with memories a midnight feast
Feel the boy in me escape
There's a field of frost beneath my feet
Run, never tire, run boy, forever and ever
I could take a walk again
up a mountain to a stream
Standing on the open rock
Looking out over the sea
Funny when we move ahead
Never worry what we leave behind
Remember what a friend of mine said
You gotta be kind

Cache is approx a 30 min walk along two sandy beaches.You can walk around the rocks at the end of Ocean Beach if the tide is low enough, otherwise go over the sandhill and follow the track to the next beach.Cache is at the next rocky outcrop .
Now if you're really keen after you have found the cache you could "Take a Walk" along the next 6km stretch of beautiful sandy beach named Araarariki Beach . A little piece of history.. at the end of this beach is the site of two ship wrecks.In 1886 the 35 ton ketch "Fanny Kelly" ran onto rocks in heavy seas breaking in two with a loss of 4 lives.In 1907 the 159 ton steamer "Awarua" struck the very same uncharted reef during a heavy surge, penetrating the hull and eventually sinking her.
Enjoy the walk .
