we used to go inside the light house when we were young and chill out was awesome back in the mid 90s

Excellent video. Really well made and appreciated the bits about the iron and bog. Very interesting. Especially the rubble coming from Mt Eden of all places.

Thanks. We were surprised by the rubble inside the walls. It is in a very exposed position so the heavier the better.

I remember the walk up to the Lighthouse, good leg work out but so worth the effort. Thanks for sharing.

Yes that last bit up to the light house took a lot longer than expected :-)

Thanks got the idea off RU-vid. GoPro on a pole held at arms length near the ground as you walk. Easy to do and looks great.

@@GeoRick Yes, I was walking our coastline this afternoon and it was absolutely freezing, blowing like mad, and raining as much as is possible! Defo trying to get me off the beach and into the warm living room brrrrrr!

Sealed road = paved road hmmm. The falling sand was cool. Nice trek to the lighthouse but quite the long walk. Good thing you got a ride back.

It sure was we were very tired. Hate to think how long the return journey would have taken us :-)

We really like lighthouses. we generally always go check them out when we make it to the coast. Looks like a beautiful area thanks for taking us along.

@GeoRick 3 года назад
I know what you mean about lighthouses we find them fascinating too. Not sure why may be their locations. Almost always in fantastic places.

You 2 did such an amazing presentation of this adventure. I was so engrossed that I forgot there would be a geocache find included. I loved the unique camera work, especially the slow motion footsteps.
@GeoRick
@GeoRick 3 года назад
Thanks we saw a RU-vid video suggesting you hold the GoPro on a pole at arms length upside down and low to the ground. It works well tried it again today.

That drone shot was Magnificent! Sandfalls? Never knew that was a thing. Lots of interesting tidbits on this beautiful adventure. Thank you!
@GeoRick

Thanks loved flying the drone there but had a little trouble as there was high wind up around 30m that the drone was struggling with.
@cachetheline
@cachetheline 3 года назад
LOL you use "magnificent" as a word too! There must be something just magnificent about this location, or video ;D

Great video as per usual! Entertaining and informative. 10 out of 10! Loved the sand and the nature shots as well as the museum visit. Aerial shots are a bonus! (btw, I wish Spain wasn't so restrictive on the use of drones and we could just apply common sense, like in other countries!) Concerning the cache, it's always puzzling when you see that it was originally placed somewhere else but don't know exactly where. I think you did the right thing: leave it as it was found. Jedi Master of geocaching!

Thanks glad you liked it. We have to have land owners permission to fly over but no one owns the foreshore so ok to fly there as long as its not over strangers.

LOVE NZ Beaches! & your drone footage just tops it all off! 2.5hr walk? Shoulda given the boys on the 4x4s a wink to help get you there! (CORRECTION) HOW COOL THEY GAVE YOU A LIFT! Amazing spot again! 👏🏻
@GeoRick
@GeoRick 3 года назад
Glad you liked it. Yes 2.5hr one way less if you are fit :-)

WOW that beach! And I love those sandfalls :D I just looked up that area and it looks magnificent. Too bad there's no cache at the lighthouse. Looks like a great place for one! :) haha, I was wondering if the 'padawan' in the cache name would be relevant!

If we had a quad bike we would place one there but walking to replace a log book would be too hard for us :-)
