I wouldn't have had a clue where the new tag was, until I drove past this week and saw it, and the assortment of cars etc stuffed into the building.
There used to be serious competition between Double R and Alexanders out at Kaiapoi back in the day......

Another predominantly regionally popular fizzy drink. Much the same as Foxton Fizz (http://www.foxtonfizz.com/) or Wests (http://www.wests.co.nz/).
Glass bottles are the best.

Kirwee, monument to building the water races.
New Tag
After exploring a few gravel roads (not necessary to get to the tag). Big sign up nearby indicating that the area is closed to four-wheeled and non-registered motorbikes - so for all you road-legal adventure bikers, its all go (if you can get throught the locked gate)

Sorry to say that you are right FJ. I checked the Transalper map for the last 100 or so tags and it wasn't there but didn't check the first 100 and now I see that it has been tagged before. Well I guess that just makes it easier. Or would the collective wisdom :killingme want a new tag site?

New tag is an interesting building out there somewhere. Probably a house but lots of vehicles around it but no sign up on the road to make it look like a commercial building. Surrounded by dairy farms. More hints to follow (after a few days if needed).

oath man, its in canterbury... somewereYou know a couple of the places I was at on Sunday, and at what times, and you know what time I was home to post up the pic. That information significantly reduces the portion of Canterbury I could've got to to take the pic. Just so everyone else has the same info - I was in Methven at 1pm and at home posting the pics at 3.37 - home is Chch East - D's favourite area, and where I threatened to put the tag just for him :D
Seems to be a few people that know where it is now, which is good, I hoped it wouldn't be too difficult. Sing out if you still want clues though ... not you D :laugh:

Just hadn't checked if they were within the 100km of christchurch as per the first post, answer being from the square no (by 3km) but from the city boundary yes, so does that make the next one I had in mind at 98km from yaldhurst ok?

I did think about the distance thing and took another pic in another location as back up. After going into google maps and finding it was only 2ks outside the 100k rule if taken from the Christchurch Hospital I thought what the hell, I have always been one to bend the rules a bit.:nono:
But if you look outside the square some would say the centre of Christchurch is no longer the CBD and is more out Riccarton way which would then bring the tag inside 100k. As the crow flies it is certinly inside 100k. What ever way you look at it, it is still a great wee ride with various options for a round trip.

I thought the same thing, given that the centre of christchurch pretty much doesn't exist any more, if it's a nice ride just do it. Looks like I've got some company for a ride tomorrow anyway, if it's a nice day the next tag might end up in Hokitika.

Alford Forest is 43.8 ks south of your last tag on the same road. As for 'what came first, the tree or the house', looking at the size of the trunk I would suggest the tree wins the race.
