Geocache Description:

Cache is about a 3km walk from the Rarawa Beach Campsite. (6km return)


There were hundreds of pipi the day I hid this cache - hence the name. I gathered a feed about an hour before high tide. You can gather pipi along much of this beautiful beach. For our overseas cachers here is how to prepare the shell fish for eating : Soak pipis in cold seawater for about an hour, or more, so that they expel the bulk of the sand they contain. Remove them to a clean dish. Boil about 2.5cm (1 inch) seawater in a saucepan and place a few pipis at a time to this but remove as soon as they open so that they do not become tough. Drain liquid into cooking water, remove the meat from the shells. After opening pipis, save the liquid used to open them.ENJOY!
