The path starts at a Green and ends at a Road, it connects an old reserve and a new one that used to be an orchard. Not far from where your dad once lived....:shifty:

OK, the lack of activity suggests it's time for another clue.

It's less than 1km from tags #35 and #44....

[far queue]

I've sussed it out, I'll get it in the weekend if it's still unclaimed. The next problem is to come up with a bright/interesting idea on where to go for the next one.

[Gibbo89]

did anyone make it to the spot before the quake?

im assuming no one has thought about our tagorama since...

[neels]

I thought someone would pick it up in the weekend, seeing as 2 people that know where it is went past it to meet up for the ride to Greta on saturday.

Mind you, so did everybody else for that matter :shifty:

As for a new tag, you will have to wait till tomorrow.

Accross the river to the north, I am sure you could Hunt this one out.
Access all by seal, great veiw, alternate route's could take you on some straight stretchs of gravel

For sure a great spot to build a crib. Alas as Kick says, I pretty much gave it away.
"Hunt" this one out... = Hunters- _ _ _ _ and the name of the panarama image... = Glen.
HuntersGlen, a new subdivision up on a hill over looking Cust and out to Port Hills, and over the other side of the hill a grand veiw through the Ashley area.

No I didn't, I also didn't pick up on the clue GB left but still found where it was easily just from what's in the picture

[Kickaha]

Actually I better fess up, I had the bike in the back of the car when I was out that way so this one is still open to anyone who want's to go get it

I found it by going to Bayleys website and doing a search for lot 6

Unfortunately I was to late in telling GB to keep his mouth shut about where it was so it's not as though its going to be hard to find

[Vgygrwr]

Great sunshine for the first daylight saving ride home seemed like worth a look at the tag. New one really easy I guess but at the rate they go these day no need to use to avoid the queue

[neels]

So I'm figuring this is a railway underpass.

That's about all I've figured so far, any clues?:blink:

[A_Mans_Ruin]

I agree... Im geographically challenged enough being a newbie to chch.... Cumon give us a CLUE??

QEII drive me thinks? I live out in Goona so won't be able to get it until tomorrow night.

You can't but I didn't think there would be access to get a bike into that one

[Vgygrwr]

Thought the clue for the tag was as obvious as mine usually are. At least it lasted longer than the Rangiora RSL one. Living out Swanannoa I couldn't stand riding into the city down Marshlands or Main North each morning, far too much queuing.

[Ghost_Bullet]

Ok second thoughts now upon some looking about, my thinking was Kyle Park Hornby, the pass between park and mall, but the tag looks somwhat shorter than Kyle parks one.

[neels]

OK, the worlds worst kept secret, seeing as everybody knows where it is but nobody wants to go get it I thought I'd better take the angry sewing machine for a ride (and a push when it ran out of gas, and a jump start because the battery was flat :facepalm:)

In that case, St Mary's church Halswell, I thought it was a gravel path you had parked on until I got there and realised it was one of those all too familiar piles of sand. Thought I'd take the scenic route from home to BK via there on the way to Greta last night, after your and FJRiders clues pretty much gave me directions to where it was.

Anyway, time to post the next one, had to take 2 pics to get the whole building in from the side of the road, and I'm too crap to photoshop them together.

So I tried to type "hornby christchurch" as a search into Google Maps but accidentally left out the "b" because I can't type for shit.

I hadn't seen the cemetary either despite pretty much driving past it every day for 13years

I knew there had been a church there due to looking online for another tag and finding the details of it and was going to tag a photo of the old church site when I saw the cemetery

Flaxton – St Paul’s Anglican – Corner of Flaxton and Hicklands Roads.
In 1866 the Torlesse Family donated land for a church to serve the people of
the Rangiora and Mandeville Swamp areas, at the junction of the then named
Rangiora and Eyre Roads. St Paul’s was consecrated on 25 March 1867 by
Bishop Harper. It served nearby settlers as well as people from Eyreton until
1875, but with poor roads and frequent floods communication was often
difficult and the outcome was a decision to build at Eyreton where there was
comparatively dry land and an increasing population.
St Paul’s was still in use at Flaxton in 1920, but was demolished in 1934. The
cemetery is still at the site.

And where they get that fertiliser from

[Gareth123]

Ravensdown Fertiliser.

I've no idea where though.

[Spuds1234]

North of Loburn, theres something up that way I think.

And what about the danger keep out tape? I spose that wasn't there when you went?:innocent:Nope, there was no tape, or signs or any other such warning. I suspect the area may have been fenced or taped off right after the big one but I guess it's been deemed safe since. There were people walking about and the council had recently been through with a weed eater, which is what all the green is on the ground - the left overs.

Yep, our section that was surveyed in 1925 measures 100x250. I had to ask one of the older drafting guys at work what the hell the units were.

So it's off to a couple of cricket pitches then....I don't think you can get there by rail any more though.

Yea, I was looking at the trees trying to figure out where I had seen trees like that before. Gareth put me right though and I know where it is. I just wont have time to get it for a day or two.

Highly likely.. I figured this one would be extremely easy, but I really only had one other idea, and by the time I was riding past that one it had started raining again, so I didn't feel like stopping and removing gloves and helmet for the 7th time today, not to mention that damned backpack, which by the time I got home, refused to come off unless the jacket came off with it.
