HAHA... mutter mutter LOL

The gorge aint that bad, compair the two tag photos, it dosnt really get that much higher more wider and faster, the news said it was up to the bridge but I cant see that some how there be serious issues if thats the case.



... whats a arboretum? :pinch:
An arboretum (plural: arboreta) in a narrow sense is a collection of trees only. Related collections include a fruticetum (from the Latin frutex, meaning shrub), and a viticetum, a collection of vines. More commonly, today, an arboretum is a botanical garden containing living collections of woody plants
So... we are looking for a forest, in canterbury, be it somewhat of an old one.

Close but no cigar... Do i have to give you guys a clue??

[Rashika]

Type in the 3 prominent words for this and it comes up as no3 on google... The Arboretum had over 800 species of trees by 1908 so yes quite significant for canterbury

[dangerous]

googled and done... and Kickaha could push his broken Ducati up to the tag... :pinch:

Well not the best photo ever taken of a tag, but as you can see I have witnesses to the fact that I did in fact visit the tractor at culverden, if you look hard enough you can see the front of it past the trees. I did see one of the local farmers trying out the ACC recommended safety gear for operating tractors and quad bikes though

Not a church, a house


I dont think it was, but it has a lot off support to keep it alive what ever building it was, but from what Ive seen its farrrrrrked.

You got me wondering so I did some googling, seems it was built in 1855-1856 by one of the founding fathers of canterbury. I guess that's why they want to save it, but it looks pretty farrrked to me too.

[neels]

Must be time for a clue....

Happy googling.

ahhhh I see, nice... and a shame, i can see why they will try to rebuild it.

Yours is the carpark at Gibraltar Rock on the Summit Road (quite close to Rhodes Spring) with the rock behind you showing in your mirror. I'm guessing the pic was pulled from a GoPro or something as my phone can't reproduce anywhere near the wide angle of your shot.

Na I passed it after picking up the previous tag on the way back to Darfield

[Transalper]

ha ha, there are actually quite a lot of red phone boxes still about if you keep an eye out for them and with several different styles of roof.
Unfortunately this one is not ringing any bells for me at this time and I'm unlikely to be going exploring just for it anytime soon.

[Vgygrwr]

Tend to go past that phone box too often to leave too long. Address is 191 Inland Scenic Highway or Amberley Balcairn Rd. The next phone box is a little off the seal a bit over 34 km from the last or 35km if you want to avoid 1 km of gravel. Very close to one of the early tags.281653281654

Thats the one... and nice effort in the crap weather.
This kid needs more clues, 35k x 3.14 is a 110k area, hey I never got SC math ok. Whats the property the tardis is on? winery, B&B, random house?

[Vgygrwr]

Not sure but think it is a "random house" but if your home is in Darfield then this is a bit closer to home than the other

Well,

I went for a ride and crossed a river, went down a road and ended up at the bush all of the same name, thinking I was in the right place but couldn't find the tag.

So either I was in completely the wrong place, or the sign in the pic isn't easy to spot riding past on the road.

Never mind, nice day for a ride, and tag still up for grabs.

sounds like you were bloody close, shoulda been 2 rivers tho, but ya needed to hang a right and enjoy a short straight, then ya feel like ya riding off the edge of the world but to find ya self steply decending in to a tight winding road at which when you exit you will be looking straight at the Tag, around the next corner its shingle and the next its nothing but H2O, a horse and a jet will lead you straight there.

Obviously should have turned right instead of following the road straight ahead across the tracks, didn't head that way as wasn't sure where it ended up.

Close, but no cigar I guess.

Such a great afternoon for a ride seemed a pity to spend it picking apples. Quite a bit of wandering around to find the tag not exactly that close to the sign.

[NiggleC]

I was following the railway track and thinking you'd be able to get a fair towards the coast offroad, might pay to know the train schedule for some of those bridges though

Its been done, sometime in the mid 90's, trials bikes from Kowhai Bush thru to Cust following the old coach road using the tunnels and bridges where necessary. Bikes had to be lifted over fences in places and one creek crossing was 4 feet deep. And it was snowing. One of the riders was in the position to carry a track control radio and the train controller on duty knew they were in there beforehand. Probably can't be done now.......

[Captain_Salty]

A 4WD track shadows the line most of the way so the main problem is at Staircase, where the viaduct leads straight into a tunnel. I'd guess the creek was Broken River.

[Captain_Salty]

Not really. Staircase Stream is a few k's further down the Waimak Gorge from there with its viaduct and passing loop named after it. You were in Broken River Gorge and between Slovens Stream viaduct and Broken River Viaduct the track was known as "the mile of six tunnels". The track up slovens is known as Avoca Bank.

Captian... not that I doubted you its awesom to learn shit, below is from my step father... I get the feeling you proberly sat in the same train



Yes Captain_Salty is right, now that I see Captain_Salty's photo it has certainly retriggered the memory, I flew past that spot, same lovely view, with David Chappell years ago.

And again Captain_Salty is right with regard to his geography, however I well remember sitting in the front end of a Fiat Railcar heading west many many moons ago, the driver gave me a bit of a running commentary as we climbed what he “ loosely” termed the staircase, however he did qualify the fact that the term staircase did derive from the the Staircase Stream, he also identified the specific geographical points Captain_Salty mentioned as we passed them by not to mention all of the tunnels.

There are a lot of folk from my era who used to travel up to the Bealy / Arthurs Pass area on a Friday night train, [and the occasional Sunday excursions, when Steam was King], who would talk about the staircase as being loosely applied to the impressive climb, views, tunnels etc of this section of track, but most people who travelled this line knew the real Staircase section, as such, was as Captain_Salty has described.

Pretty much. Rode from the East end to Kowhai and didn't find it, after going through the McGrath's ford (don't ask). Checked out the Hill View domain. Started riding to Oxford, since the bike was getting thirsty. Saw the sign for Cooper's Creek and thought "why not?". 60 seconds later, in the last place I looked, what should I find but the Inn.

Got some nice gravel riding practice, but now need to clean the chain. Only did the bike on the weekend! :angry2:

I remember someone at work saying they took their kids during summer, but buggered if I could remember quite where it was.

Nicely done. I did the same thing, including cutting the engine to keep things quiet and rolling the last bit. My bad if I wasn't supposed to be on the wharf. I just saw the 3500kg weight restriction, thought "I haven't eaten that many pies" and rolled on out. :rolleyes:

That sign said something along the lines of "3500kg, authorized vehicles only" I doubt anyone would be too worried about it, there was noone actually on the wharf but I wasn't going to hang around too long just incase

(Does that give you a clue Neels) My new knee is almost at the point of bending enough to get the foot on the peg.......so might even try harder and take the bike for my next trip. Just got to remember to take the camera as well.

Have to be a bloody big detour to get the bonus for the beach shot :laugh: It definitely isn't anywhere the main drag :no:

[Gareth123]

I wanted to go for the beach tag but I have no idea where it is. I was thinking Leithfield but I don't have the spare gas just to go for a look, I used it all going to Brunner today.

[Mushu]

I thought someone would know where that is, I really can't find any info to give you as a clue other than that you'll find the tag just south of the Selwyn river and the bonus picture is further south again, the bonus pic was taken facing more or less east after a coffee at little river and the tag pick was taken on the way home after making it allong that beach

[Transalper]

Coffee at LR, tis exactly the beach I was thinking... and I think I know roughly where the hall is but Transalp in bits (would get stuck on that beach too) and WR not Regoed at this time... though I have cycled that far on the MTB for a tag before. Not today though, playing in the dirt at the Mac today.

[dangerous]

you'll find the tag just south of the Selwyn river hmmm shit, considering I can look up from this puter and see the selwyn river (be it a bit further inland) I cant place the hall on the main drag dunsandle maybe other wise southbridge way but then I doubt Jakel passed it.
I am riding a V2 630 husky all day but it has 4 wheels and twin rotor spinning under it... tomorow I might get a chance to look.

[Transalper]

As T.W.R. said, not so much the main drag, more the secondary way from Rakaia to ChCh.

I'd go and get it this morning but other duties take priority :pinch: It's simple as think "forest" :yes: though I'm wondering how mushu got across the lake outlet...and lol it's a good 12km from the beach frontage at Taumutu to the tag site

If you grab a set of water wings off one of the boys and jump in the river behind home, float downstream a couple of hours and when you hit the second bridge walk south a couple of clicks. We will be driving pass again today either to or from the city, as we normally do the circuit for a change of scenery, if we see you I'll give you a lift home!!!:niceone:

I was able to ride all the way across, there was no lake outlet, then picked up the tag on the way back to town, the tag is 22km from the bend in Gullivers Rd where I got off the beach. The hall from the tag is visible on street view shouldn't take too long to track it down that way

It wasn't that long ago that they had to open up the lake after the flooding around Motukarara & Ataahua; suppose the southerly swells must have filled it again pretty quickly :yes: (was on the news showing the excavators digging it out). I know where you got onto the tarseal again ;) used to do a lot of night fishing at Harts Creek. The lay-by is probably getting a few confused to locating the tag.....irrr ooh welll :shifty:

Just in... FARK MAN ok so the boys dont have no water wings (I hiff the wee shits straight in the pool no aids) so used a couple a balloons duct taped to me arms (next time remind me to blow em up 1st) belley flopped into the 'ashburton river' (well its the river behind you) 2hrs had me pass no bridges and all I could see was... the sea and horizon.
At this point I was thinking I shoulda not listened to ya cos there is and never has been any bloody hall 12mile out, thank christ Willy was passing by and hooked me on to his dorsel, thing is the prick wasent headed to Lyeltton but south bay KAIKOURA.
so.. as I left my wallet at home I had to tumb a lift, because the only jackal on a breva I seen flipped me the birdie and speed off... so I had to accept a ride of a fat fuker of a truckie that stunk to high heaven and kept winking at me... that brings me to JUST IN

so I am no closser to finding that damn HALL

Ir... well (clue), surely if you go back and read there are more than enough clues it should be easy to find now. As I said, it's visible on street view.

So you mean you didn't get washed down the river, wind up in Kaikora and have to hitch hike back with a dodgy truck driver? I'm disappointed....

awesome shot of the Breva, as for the dancing cow...

[Mushu]

New tag, still north of the Rakaia I think it might be time for a clue. I've had a look and done a ton of googling with no luck.

[Jackal]

I'm not good at clues, giving or getting, but here is a photo taken from where the Breva is parked looking at what view the dancing Canterbury Cow is looking at. They are the Port Hills not the foot hills.........

Google maps will not help you with this one unless you look for my photo clue, as the Dancing Cow appeared post google street view.

That's because you are in the middle stage of knowing that you can't remember. Wait a couple of years and all will be sweet. :innocent:

As for me, I can't remember ever having seen this tag so might need a clue. Is it Kill within an Inchy? Anyhoo, too wet to ride today.
