A peachy walk in Northland
From Nine To Noon 23 March 2015
Outdoorsman and adventurer Kennedy Warne took a sunrise stroll on the Peach Cove Track on Bream Head in Northland.
Stunning views - from a high point about 475 metres above sea level - to the Hen and Chickens Islands out to sea, Marsden Point oil refinery inland, the Northland coastline looking north, Bream Bay to the south. Good track, easy walk, though about 500 steps to climb!
Kennedy Warne talks about his walk, and about cartographic curiosities, including a map that shows where would you end up if you drilled straight through the earth from your back yard, with Kathryn Ryan.
