Heres some of that dispicable past I alluded to. Marylands has about 100 years of history that we should be ashamed of as human beings. It was a different time with different attudes but I still cant get over the fact that adults could be this cruel to children. Unfortunatly, these scumbags didnt get away with this for decades without some complicity. The whole John of God order should have been wound up.

But before the kiddy fiddlers, there were these evil bitches... It seems the Sisters of the Good Shepard largely got away with the abuse they metred out.

'dispicable' gave me the clue , two places came to mind , gave me the creeps riding up there and on site looking, then spotted it on way out. lived within 8km's all may life and never seen it .children deserve a good start in life.


Good effort Cruza. First Guzza, now Cruza. Didn't realise there were so many keen night riders around. Maybe you guys should start a club. :shit::whistle:

only trying to bet you rosie, :laugh:

Just finished work so off to get tag, only getting into this game, so first tag will be only average. Like the way Guzza has some history with his pic aye. Top marks . :2thumbsup .

I knew I had seen this somewhere... But I was racking my brain as to where it was! :scratch: Thankgod Cruza solved it!!! :2thumbsup

As much as there was a despicable history behind your tag.. thank you for the historic information... its amazing you can live in a city for 13 years and not know about stuff like this...

Now who would have thought riding a motorsickle would be informative :lol:

[cruza]

Bit cold , but here it is , should be a easy one to get and lots of corners for ya mcwild :rolleyes:

Happy to say I know exactly where this one is (if I'm right), went very close to it a couple of weeks ago doing an adventure loop. By that I mean we took two favorite sealed roads that most people ride down then turn around and ride back and we went up one took a favorite adventure bit across to the other one and road back via the second sealed road so we had no back tracking by doing them like that.... if you can understand that.

Hmm, suns stll out. I may have to be off I think.

[LittleAngel]

I have an idea where this is.... :scratch: If not tagged today I will hopefully collect tomorrow... (well that's if it's where I think it is!!).... If not... I'm sure I'll enjoy the ride :yes:

[Transalper]

Here we go... this is the best one I got, light was fading on me a bit.
Sign says St Pauls Anglican Church. It's in Port Levy. I saved you all a little pea gravel on the last hill but in grabbing the Tag stole all McWilds corners :devil2:

[Transalper]

Oh to heck with it, this should be obvious to several...
The other options from today are too dark and I may have other things to do tomorrow.
:done:

[McWild]

Haha fair enough you snooze you lose.

[Transalper]

Gave you some more corners on the new one. Ready set go!

[cruza]

Good on ya TA :2thumbsup . yeah bit of grit near the top . had a play on way back, riding the touno dirt bike style and hanging out the back end.

Recognised the very picturesque wee church too!!

And hey!!I know the loop very well(Western valley is a great bit of shingle)

Couldnt get out riding yesterday:(...my time will come too.....and I have a great tag in mind.....:devil2:

[Spuds1234]

I know that one. I know it. Now I just have to get off my arse to get it.

[cruza]

not going to get it tapping on the key board.:laugh:

[Spuds1234]

Here you go, its the jetty around from Diamond harbour.

My god are my hands cold. Its like 5C out there at the moment.

[Spuds1234]

Here the next tag.

[Transalper]

Very good but don't you know which way is up?

Re new tag... what???? do you know how many play grounds in ChCh alone look identical to that one, only difference being the trees?:confused:

Are we inside Christchurch or out of town like 80km/hr zone or more out? Or do you think someone will actually know this... I have no kids living with me!!

[Dave-]

go the katana.

if I know alex (and I do) then chances are that playground is very close to home (hint for those of you who remember)

I'll be off 2 wheels till my front brakes get sorted, found some frightning things when replacing the pads, so I'm tidying those up.

You fucken ruined that really quickly didnt you.

There is also a pool nearby.

Definitely well within Christchurch.

[Transalper]

I actually had considered that it might be quite close to his home but I have no idea where that is.

He Spuds, want to be my friend or even just add me to your contact list :blip:. I'll send you an invite too. Hope ya profile private bits are filled in and up to date.
Otherwise I have recently finished messing with the roadsafe DVD, pm your address and I'll bring it round to watch, make a copy and pass it on if ya want... just let me know where u live either way aye :niceone:

[Spuds1234]

Drop it in the box if you want.

My address is Flat 3 57 Bristol Street.

[Transalper]

mmm, wouldn't have given that to the whole wide world if I were you.
I like to try maintain a little control over who know my address. Never no what kind of people are looking. You don't have to be a registered member to read the text.
Got an errin to run in Riccarton, will see if I can be bothered donning my gear again after that. I could cycle there in 10 minutes and please note their isn't anything in the rules saying your bike has to be motorized, it just says 'bike'. Cycling is better for ya anyway.

[Spuds1234]

Im not to fussed about who knows it as I wont be here much longer. My brother is going to buy a house out in Goona that I'll be moving into.

[Spuds1234]

Just saw a black guzzi go from Ranfurly st, left onto Bristol st.

But I suspect that TA got the pic first because I have his dvd.

[Guzza]

He may have got there first, but did he post it first ?:laugh:

I had 4 experts under the age of 11 who picked the tag as soon as they saw it this morning. The other clues only confirmed the location.

[Guzza]

Heres the new tag, nothing to do with the previous tag site.

[Transalper]

ha ha ha, I droped it off while on another mission so I was caged and not looking at the time.
Glad to see it done now, Guzza I count this as you saving me from myself as I was just about to wrap up and go. Now I can stay on top of the heater for a bit longer.:cold: is messing with me today.

What street was the last one in?

[Spuds1234]

My tag was the Abberley St park I think.

[Spuds1234]

Heres the new tag, nothing to do with the previous tag site.

I know this one. But I cant for the life of me remember where it is

[Transalper]

Isn't there a nice little old hall there too?
There is a geocache hidden in that park which I'vd done so have actually been there but no way would I remember the play equipment.

[Guzza]

What street was the last one in?

Yep, Abberly Park, Ranfurly St enterance. Wish they were all that handy!

[Spuds1234]

Do you live nearby Guzza?

[Guzza]

Do you live nearby Guzza?

Blighs Rd. :)

[Transalper]

Ta Da....
St James Park in St James Ave. Sorry to my buddy who lives in that street for not popping in to say hi :hug:, but it was spitting on me and I wanted to get back home for tea and tag

[Transalper]

Righto, you like gates so much try this one.... it's to a fairly well known place to some married people.
It's not a church.

Actually I really want to post the building next to it because it's a nice one and will be a waste of a photo not to, but will leave it at the gate for a laugh for right now..
If clues are needed the building pic will go up.

This one is proving to be a bit more of a challenge than I gave it credit for! Went for a wee blat, found a bunch of similar gates but not THAT one. I know I'm damn close tho! This wee expedition came at a cost. A judder bar jumped out at me and the Black Bitch is now lighter by both wing mirrors, right indicator and rear break pedal. Also smashed the right spark plug cap and stoved in the crash bar around the cylinder head. couple of wee scratches to the pipes and paint work too :( . No damage to the cylinder or head tho. Thankful for that :).

[helenoftroy]

Oh no!thats bad luck Guza!

Feel for you....second bike casualty in the name of the game.....:(

[Emlyn]

Man, thats awful! So sorry to hear that! Hope your ok... ? :)

[rosie631]

Looks like you guys were tagging up a storm over the weekend. Unfortunately, I'm out of the game for a while too. Took a high speed spill on the bike yesterday. I came out alright, tho I'm still not sure how. Bike very banged up. Getting insurance sorted today. Hope you guys keep the game going til I get back.

[rosie631]

Sorry to hear about your spill too Guzza. This winter riding aint all it's cracked up to be eh??

I'm fairly confident I know where these gates are, but I won't get a chance to get the tag before the weekend, and I'm sure it will be gone by then! But gates make a curly tag!!! :laugh:

:shit: Oh Rosie - pleased to hear you came out alright... bikes are always fixable, whereas people are not always so lucky! Fingers crossed you get no grief from your Insurance company! :(

[Transalper]

Bloody heck, news of all these wreaks does not make ones day.
Just glad everyone is still here.
Winter, wet and dark riding all certainly require less speed with a lot more attention to surfaces.
Guzza, you must have gone down hard to get both mirrors with the rest.
Rosie, you leave us wanting some kind of description. Morbid curiosity is human nature for most of us. Guza got tangled up with a judder bar, was yours on a bend/straight/ open limit by the sound of it, do you suspect something slippery or just ran wide somewhere?
I hope the repairs are done well and in good time.

Here's the building next door to the gate. Note thats right next to, not through.

[Mikkel]

Well, if I had been on my bike today it would have been a goner... but alas, caged for the day. :(

Sounds like it's been a rough weekend for bikes though :( Good thing no one were hurt too badly!

Darn stuck at work...finally know where it is but no camera...sigh
Knew it from your first pick

[Transalper]

You're doing quite well when you can remember a place from it's gate.

[McWild]

I believe I win the prize.
Mona Vale, entrance on 63 Fendalton road.
The gates were open, hence the multiple photos, and I didn't have it in me to close them in order to take the photo.

Will head out soon to take the new tag. It will be around town probably, because it's frickin freezing out there.

Hiya. Was on a straight.Just this side of Hanmer turn off. Riding with a group doing about 100ks, maybe slightly less. Fairly heavy rain. We had plenty of room between bikes luckily. Bike just slid out from under me on a greasy patch. Didn't have time to do anything. Bike behind me stayed upright. One behind him went down too on another patch.
No serious injuries and both bikes injured, so could have been MUCH worse.

Sorry to hear that...at least u came through ok

[McWild]

You should really know where this is.

[phoenixgtr]

Haha. Sir Wild I certainly do know where that is!!

[rosie631]

Freudian slip on my last post. Both bikes WERE injured but what I meant to say was insured LOL :Oops:

[phoenixgtr]

The home of one of my greatest passions: Ruapuna raceway

[phoenixgtr]

While we were out my baby reached a special milestone...

50,000kms old and you've still got random people at the petrol station thinking you're new. Good on ya!

[Transalper]

Good job McWild and then Phoenix :rockon:

Bit of a bummer Rosie, crashing with out an obvious reason(s) could be a bit of a confidence knocker. My crashes have all had easily identifiable factors, usually a combination, but it could be said that in a way I was asking for it each time so far.
I don't ask for it as often any more.
Have you got a push bike? We will miss you (and Guzzza) in the game until your return.

JMemonic got the XJ on road yet?

[Guzza]

...Winter, wet and dark riding all certainly require less speed with a lot more attention to surfaces.

I was coming out of North Hagley Park, going maybe15- 20 kph, squeezed the brake to slow right down for the double judder bar but locked it up. Hit the judder bar a couple of feet later and that stopped me dead. The bike went down to the right. Was puzzled to find the left mirror a few meters up the road, later I was aware of my left knee being pretty sore and figure I kung-fooed the mirror with my knee on the way over. It wont be messing with me again! Got me just below my knee actually, just below the armour :lol: Very pleased she started with little fuss and got me home on one cylinder.

I should be able to attend to the sticky outy bits myself but not sure what the deal will be with the spark plug cap/lead and the crash bar looks pretty ugly. Not actually sure I could get that style to replace it.

Anyway, I got off light. a couple of wee scuffs on the leather and a bump on my knee. sounds like rosie should be buying a lotto ticket!

[McWild]

Please don't make that the next tag! That's at least 2 rebuilds for me!


And yes, I didn't think that tag would put up a fight. But I figured it had to be done sometime.

[Guzza]

Damned if I was riding my MTB out to Ruapuna! :angry2:

[phoenixgtr]

No good to hear about your 'offs' guzza and rosie. those gate pics were catchy . This game really brings out some of the nice things we have in chch.

[rosie631]

Yep, got a pushbike. May have to resort to it. Will give you a laugh if I do. It's a 10 speed that's almost as old as I am LOL.
Hoping that the other old girl will not be off the road too long.

[Transalper]

....Was puzzled to find the left mirror a few meters up the road, later I was aware of my left knee being pretty sore and figure I kung-fooed the mirror with my knee on the way over. It wont be messing with me again!
Had to chuckle at that.

[Transalper]

...It's a 10 speed that's almost as old as I am LOL.....I got one of those, it broke cable not long after I dusted it off and took it to Burwood Forrest (10-speeds on sand don't go so well) and after I patched it I could only get half the cogs on the rear. What's left of the cable was too short for the full range. I thought about replacing the cable but wanted a mountain bike to satisfy my renewed enthusiasm for cycling so got one of them instead.
It has done a fairly good job at keeping my interest while my DR650 engine was broken.

this is such a great idea, well done you lot. can't wait to join in!

[McWild]

BAM!

And the tag is gone!

Awesome, now I have an excuse to get out tomorrow.

[phoenixgtr]

Well done oh Wild One. This was on Cambridge Tce between Manchester & Colombo, next door to Retour (the old band rotunda)

[Guzza]

BAM!

And the tag is gone!

Awesome, now I have an excuse to get out tomorrow.

:argh: gonna have to pedal faster next time! Well done McWild.

[Transalper]

Nice one. I was out on my pushbike just getting some exercise.
Came home and the new tag was up... and gone.
Is ok, I hadn't noticed that rock before anyway.

[McWild]

And they're off!

[EJK]

How the hell did you get there?
I know the place (Been there plenty of times) but alas, got exams to study...

[McWild]

You just have to be amazing.

[phoenixgtr]

You just have to be amazing.

So I'm confused...how is it that you got there? :bleh:









(I know, I know... :puke:)

[been_there]

No camera...aarrrggghhh!!!!!
Its Just down the road.

[fireliv]

Ta da!!!!! Sorry Hels no story, but I was out of there under a min


Christchurch Railway Station, on the Platform
Will get a new one up tomorrow

[McWild]

Wow, that looks so cool at night!

But the bike was a little off centre... I, as the tag setter, think you should go back and get a more accurate one.

[Transalper]

[cruza]

looks like some more night pics coming up .........

[McWild]

Hat trick!

Corner of Burns St and Strickland St, community garden. Saw Liv's tyre track haha. Go past it every day on the way to uni. Next one up tomorrow, or tonight if I get bored. But probably tomorrow.

[Transalper]

Yep, I pass it every week too. Not every day though.
Thought it was too convienient to last.
I'll be back!

...Go past it every day on the way to uni....

So that is why the rest of never get a chance - bloody slacker Uni students LOL. Would be nice to have that much spare time - not that I'd take the pay cut for it!

I truly am living the royal life with my 3 weeks or so of holiday.

1 whole year paper with no assignments = living large.

Ta da!!!!! Sorry Hels no story, but I was out of there under a min

Damm!Wanted there to be security guards,police,a chase....Liv grovelling to her boss for diversion!!:Oops:

Just want another chick to be as notorious as me!!:blink:

Nah think it was mine , got pulled by cop on way home :Oops:

That would be hard....... ya got a hell of a head start:rofl:

:Police: ........reckoned i was in a hurry or something:innocent: , breath tested and rest of the drama.

[fireliv]

Well that didnt last long. I kinda thought that if anyone would get it you would McWild!!

That sucks cruza!!! Did you tell the officer that you were in a hurry....to get the tag up!!!

[bikemike]

If I'd watched this space I'd have raced you home to post it McWild. That was me taking too much interest on my pedal cycle as you were looking for the right spot - flashing yellow backpack guy. I figured it might be a tag in progress.

Back on the GS tomorrow. Maybe I'll be quick enough to play again sometime.

[McWild]

"Can't stop to chat officer; there's a game of tagorama to win!"

Bikemike, yeah I must admit all the cyclists around that area were sort of worrying me. With the game the way it is, anybody could be a competitor!

[rosie631]

Yep, I got sprung by Retro and Trumpess in mid tag few weeks ago. LOL

[McWild]

Have at ye!

[Subike]

Went past that twice today McWild, I think it will be gone before sundown. A real easy one for sure,

[rosie631]

OMG. I need to get out more. I don't know any of these.

[phoenixgtr]

Another one bites the dust...

Corner of Anzac Drive & Travis Rd

[been_there]

bejesus...thats where it is..couldn't for the life of me figure that one, knew I had seen them somewhere.

[rosie631]

Bugger. Had planned to get that on the sweat wheel in the morning. You guys are too quick.LOL

[McWild]

Good work there man. I was actually on the way to a different place that I had planned the tag and saw it next to the roundabout, it just sort of jumped out at me and I knew... it had to be the tag!

Didn't expect it to last forever, but I like taking the photos in interesting locations.

[phoenixgtr]

On your marks...get set...go!

[martinrz]

Back of Airport:sweatdrop

[martinrz]

Ok this one may have you guessing.

[cruza]

Found it!! never knew about this. man stuff in chch is amazing. Can't go tag it, other things on .:crybaby:

[phoenixgtr]

Back of Airport:sweatdrop

Well done. It's on Pounds Rd near the Ryans Rd intersection

[Shadows]

Ok this one may have you guessing.

Farken hell. Noddytown?

[FJRider]

Farken hell. Noddytown?

close ... warm even.

[rosie631]

Is it some driver/ rider training school or something like that??

I know where that is...... but can I be bothered ??????......

Clue. pre, pre driver maybe.

Westburn Bike Park (http://www.ccc.govt.nz/Cycling/TracksRides/WestburnReserve.asp).
It's a mini road inside the park to help learn the road rules.
Westburn Tce, Burnside.

I really feel I should be on the push bike for all this in town stuff.

And there's the reason I didn't gear up !! :bleh: I wondered if you would collect the tag.... :done::niceone:

[Transalper]

Yep, came home from visiting mum. Was gutted to have missed the radar array or what ever that is as had looked at it before, then saw the new one. Had stumbled upon it when looking for bike parks earlier in the year when I first go the MTB, so off I went.

[Transalper]

Everyone should know this, I'm sure we've all passed it by.

[rosie631]

Bugger. Yep, know where it is. Bit far for the push bike tho.

[McWild]

Bugger, just realised I was to the right a little bit... was the photo taken in the passenger midway point?

Please let this count anyway, I'm very cold!

By the way it's the roundabout at the entrance to Northwood on Northwood Blvd.

[Transalper]

Bugger, just realised I was to the right a little bit... was the photo taken in the passenger midway point?....
:doh:
You're right, I took mine in the middle of the island, but first I took these, one looks just like yours.
OK then, :done:

[McWild]

Woo yay. New tag will be up tomorrow of course, I'll try to do it early on since it's a Sunday.
Will probably be in town though as I can't have it both ways lol.

Edit: And what I meant to say in the post with the tag in it was "pedestrian" not "passenger". Still stuck at the train station apparently...

[JellyBellyKelly]

yep i know where this is. spent 1 hour on bike today in work car park. cruza is great teacher.... didn't drop bike YAY! i can now start, stop, get to second gear, go back down to first and wiggle through twisties... bring on more practise!!!

told cruza where it is but he's got work early tomorrow.... might change his mind later hehehe

[JellyBellyKelly]

doh didn't read last post correctly... oh well shite happens. still excited about my riding today :)

Although I am not able to play.. I watch with interest... and would like to comment... if you need to borrow a child so you know what early is, just holla! lol... early will have a very different meaning for you than for many of us I am guessing? ;) :woohoo::jerry:

[JellyBellyKelly]

i agree. it's now 10.05am - people with kids (ie me also) call this late - we've been up for hours! hehehehe
where's the pic?

I have 4 that u could borrow!!!
Early used to be after 11 b4 kids....

[Transalper]

lols, I been watching for a couple of hours today now too, and I have no kids living with me either.
Going out for a couple of hours on a different mission, will check back again when I'm home in hope it's up and not found again.... again.

Not partying hard enough on Friday and Saturday nights? I honestly dont know as I am often either going to work or getting ready to come home from work at those hours.

[McWild]

Hangover and other constraints mean that this is early for me.

[Transalper]

I'm home again and having lunch.
There's no way I can justify starting up the motor for that and I am due for some exercise so I'll get the other bike out shortly.

[Subike]

If that is the building I think it is,
it would be one of the oldest tempary public buildings in CHCH.
Rowing anybody?

McW is becoming a force not to be reckoned with! Y'all going soft tho. You guys are damn lucky my bike has it's wheels up at the moment or I would have had the last three...:whistle:

[McWild]

You fools want a challenge then?

You just wait. You just wait til I'm not feeling lazy.

[Transalper]

Yep, like I'm about a km from the... Antigua Boat Sheds... (and almost the same from the Community Park of earlier)

[Guzza]

:lol::lol::lol:

This down time has allowed me to think up some interesting tags... :D

[Subike]

Be glad I dont live closer to town,
the last four tags were easy to me.
I too could log some very interesting tags McWild
But then the game is to get us all out and actively competative
which seems to be working very well.
I'm enjoying watching this thread from home. as are others.
The tags will get harder as all the easy places are logged on to the map,
soon it will be just as hard to select a new tag as it is to find it.
Then it will be summer....long warm nights......

[Transalper]

OK, how's this one? Tag#37.
It's Historic again.
Should be very easy for everyone.

This photo was taken a few weeks ago, that's the middle of June.
I'll go back and tag it again now if you all really want.

[Transalper]

Be glad I dont live closer to town,

:pinch: I took the tag to Amberley once but apparently you weren't watching then :bash:

I've no idea =(

yes I did see the one in amberley Trans, if my electrix were working on exsessive, I could have done it,
time will see.
as for your new one, the red colour of the shed, the big warehouse behind it, and the reduced view of the hill give it away. think NZR.

[Transalper]

If by NZR you're talking Rail, I'd have to say no.
I have more pictures I could post if it proves too much, but for now I'm happy to have slowed down that McWild :woohoo:

[McWild]

I don't know what it is. Or the address.

But I know that was a damn fun ride over the port hills, it's been way too long!

Fun things like accidental wheelspin when overtaking through a patch of grit, cars crossing over the centreline within a metre of me.
Good times :sweatdrop

New tag up tomorrow.

EDIT: I also know that I just owned Transalper's last post hahaha.

[Transalper]

Brilliant, I'm impressed. You said you didn't know, how ya work it out?
I'm surprised you didn't take a moment to read what it was.

It's a Jail house/ Lockup. There apparently was a complete police station there once.
Here's the info sign that cooneyr had been reading in the original picture.
It's at Allendale, very close to the Living Springs turnoff. Not far past Governors Bay on one of the main Wednesday Evening ride routes.

[McWild]

Brilliant, you said you didn't know, how ya work it out?

I should have really, but at the time I was in a slight hurry as I have stuff to do tonight, plus I thought by that stage the competition would be hot!
I even saw a very Guzzi like twin going towards the tunnel on my way back...

I actually just asked my dad, once he got home, if he had an idea, and he said he had a suspicion it was around there. Once he said so it all became clear.
I should have gotten it straight away, I actually broke down there once haha.

Man, thanks so much for putting it there, it was so awesome to have an excuse to ride Dyer's and the bays again. They weren't half as bad as I expected, although the bays side of Dyer's was interesting, to say the least.

If you weren't lazy ... you would ride your pushbike too !!!

[cooneyr]

McWild there is a reason you're a Mc isn't there. Can even tell with your helmet on ;) Saw you riding down Durham St at the Lichfield intersection just after you would have got the boat shed pic. Heard the smoker accelerating from the Durham/Cashel intersection. Ya never know who is watching aye!

Cheers R

The red head kinda likes the limelight me thinks......:devil2::clap:

[McWild]

Apologies for lateness.

My hair is awesome. Both of the family pushbikes are broken. The break down I was referring to was actually an earlier one haha, but yes that "other" one also happened around there. I think.

One need not include Harvd pulling a face in the photograph to win the tag.

Though if he is indeed included I will be a mess of awe and respect and bling will be given.

Go get it!

[Transalper]

Well I can think of numerous bridges that might resemble that one. The trick will be getting time to go out and find the correct background.

[cruza]

All good, day off tomorrow, should be safe till then.........maybe:yawn:

[Transalper]

I'll be surprised if this goes quickly with out clues. I can tell from google maps that it's not the first few that I was hoping might fit.

[cruza]

Thats better:yawn: . nice day for a ride . pic gives a few clues , off to hav a look . :shifty:

[Transalper]

Indeed it does give a few clues, netting in the background, banks of the creek/river.
Looked like it would fit on Old Taitapu Rd nicely to me, it's a little hard to tell from google maps but I think the bridge construction and trees are wrong for the one over there that I had in mind.
Who gets off and looks at bridges they ride over from the river banks anyway :crazy:

Should be easy to spot if you are at the right one, road cone, gate and all.

Good luck cruza.

[McWild]

Here's another photo to confirm or rid you of any suspicions...

These photos aren't just file photos btw, I took them yesterday.

[Transalper]

Oh crap, all I can say is :argh: I was going to Tag that sometime... and I am at work till well after dark today. :doh:

[babysteps]

Bingo! Hopefully I can get there while its still light!

[cruza]

arrh crap , just got home for lunch , and heading that way afterwards. that clue really blows it out of the water.

[Transalper]

Well, I don't know what's happened. Got an email notification of a new post by cruza and I can see what appears to be the tag picture (right bridge wrong river bank?) in his albums but where's the post?
Don't know if it's just me, KB, or cruza with the issues?

[cruza]

:angry2::angry2::angry2::argh::argh:

Had meltdown thought I had attachment pic thing sussed.......seems not

So letting it go

[Transalper]

Save the picture to your PC somewhere where you can find it.
Resize it if required to make it good for web viewing... about 800x600 pixels is my recomended size.

Make a new post, go advanced, manage attachments, browse to the one on your hard drive that you want to upload.
Click 'upload'
When it dissapears from the browse area and appears lower in the window you are ok to close the small window and then submit your post as normal.

[McWild]

Had a look at the photos, that looks all good to me.
Not going to get too fussed on what side of the river the photo was taken, it's definitely the right place.

I say it's all good in the hood, roll on the next tag.

[Transalper]

Here, I'll attach it in this post.
I still need an address/near by intersection to reference the map with though.

[Transalper]

All good, found address online, it's just back toward Christchurch from the winery on Old Tai Tapu Rd.

There we go, god knows what i was doing.
134059

[cruza]

new tag.

134092

[cruza]

first clue.

on the corner of a main road not too far away and easy to see in the direction the photo was taken, but not the other.

[JellyBellyKelly]

cheers, more at home swinging spanners in the garage, rumgirl home now and giving me another lesson. think my puter was some of the cause. seems to be easy on her laptop. day off again wed so get tag up in morning


yeah it was the computers fault. always the computers fault..... ;)

[cruza]

second clue

not in a open road zone (100kmhr)

[babysteps]

Marshlands????

[cooneyr]

I'm pretty sure I know where that is. The new(ish) chipseal and lack of edge line marking is another clue - who keeps an eye on the road surface when they go rideing aye;) No time to get out there till Sat morning at the earliest though.

Cheers R

[cruza]

Marshlands????

Cold

Last few tags been quite easy and quick. the clues will get more precise to make sure its gone by sat morning.

third clue

two words that sound the same. one is a plant, one you can get lost in.:whistle:

[Transalper]

Ok ok, enough of the clues.
I know where it is, I cycle past there from time to time.
Just got to get a chance to collect.

OH MAN

I HAVE NO IDEA

Fully I would go out now but my entropy is a little too increased.

Well no clue this morning, see if it goes today. Glad I've stumped ya mcwild ,got to slow ya down somehow:)

[Transalper]

yeah, on my way after breakfast. Probably make the next one cycle friendly ie. in city again as I don't have time to take it away until Saturday and would rather get it up straight away.
That's assuming I'm first.

[LittleAngel]

It would appear you are the only one who knows where it is.. and with no more clues.... I think you are pretty safe.... :bleh:

[Transalper]

Yep looks like I'm safe alright.
It's on the corner of Halswell Junction Road and Murphys Rd not far from the Maize Maze.
Best seen from Murphys Rd which I sometimes cycle down with a mate from Halswell on my way out to the Lincoln Rail Trail Prebbelton end.

[Transalper]

Um yep, art is it?
I parked on the footpath but that may not be necessary if a car moves and after hours I think the street is fairly empty there.

[JMemonic]

A tad dark there at 0122

[Spuds1234]

A tad dark there at 0122

So where was it? I had no idea. Where are the blue LED's?

[Harvd]

ooh it looks nice at night time . its even got a halo. so evangical. (is that a word? im drunk) get the next tag up im ready!

[Transalper]

Nice one JMemonic, I walked back round and had a better look at it yesterday arvo and found there is no info on it or the artist anywhere in the reserve. The halo is made of barbed wire, reminds me more of a crown of thorns.
I do know it was put up must be like two years ago now when they were digging up and re doing a lot of the guttering about the local area.
Part of the Addington beautifying? project acording to the newsletter.
The 'water feature' in the reserve would be quite nice if it had water in it but I have never seen it with anything more than a couple of puddles.

It's on Disraeli Street (http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=104006398483911262434.00046cc21673b6bad5b7e&ll=-43.541207,172.623711&spn=0.016332,0.028753&z=15) next to Selwyn Street. I've updated the map now.

Bring on the next one, it's going to be a great day to ride.

Pictures are more from the same found place showing the always dry 'water feature'.

[rosie631]

Could have got that one but was too lazy to pushbike that far.
Getting insurance sorted. I should be back in the game in a couple of weeks.:clap:

[Transalper]

Could have got that one but was too lazy to pushbike that far.
ohhh Rosie, it's sad to hear people say things like that. It was in the middle of everywhere, I thought it would have been an easy cycle for everyone living within the city limits. It's mostly flat here you know.


Getting insurance sorted. I should be back in the game in a couple of weeks.:clap:That's good.
The way things are going you may be back on your own bike before I am. I'm still on borrowed wheels... except when I use the pushy.

[Guzza]

Um yep, art is it?
I parked on the footpath but that may not be necessary if a car moves and after hours I think the street is fairly empty there.

Now this was an interesting one! Despite lurking in this area quite a bit, I've never seen it.

[JMemonic]

Where are the blue LED's?

What blue LED's? I dont see no blue LED's then of course they are set up to turn off with the bike ignition

Any how I dont recall ever seeing that installation (I use that word as that is what they call art right, me I call it a oddity but...), I ended up using a wee bit of detective work to locate it.

I will try and get the tag today and post it later tonight when I get home from work.

[FJRider]

I walked back round and had a better look at it yesterday arvo and found there is no info on it or the artist anywhere in the reserve.


The Artist is Ian Lamont. I found it due to the Mazda parts dealer in the background. Dont any KB'rs drive mazdas ??

[babysteps]

Must....have....Tag....before....rain....tomorrow. ... :Pokey:

[Transalper]

The Artist is Ian Lamont. I found it due to the Mazda parts dealer in the background. Dont any KB'rs drive mazdas ??Cheers man, will look him up just out of curiosity.
I cropped and blurred the Mazda parts shop logo a bit as I was worried it might be a give away.



Must....have....Tag....before....rain....tomorrow. ... :Pokey:
Just a good reason for keeping one up the sleeve ready to go.
Rode the pushy to Lyttelton and back today noting potential tags and making use of the good weather.

[Harvd]

Rode the pushy to Lyttelton and back today noting potential tags and making use of the good weather.

and you did this why? You know how far it is right?

you may have been one of the several thousand cyclists i had to negotiate up in them thar hills...

[cooneyr]

...The 'water feature' in the reserve would be quite nice if it had water in it but I have never seen it with anything more than a couple of puddles....

That water feature might actually be a pretty retention system i.e. a pond for high rainfall/flooding events.

Cheers R

Not enough ... that gave away location. The colour scheme and a good photoshop program revealed all.... tee hee ... :devil2:

[Transalper]

and you did this why? You know how far it is right?

you may have been one of the several thousand cyclists i had to negotiate up in them thar hills...There were a fair few MCs on the road, especially evans pass. There were also a fair few road cycles there too.
I should be easy to spot, green and black MTB, white helmet and the bag on the carrier, GPS on the handlebar.
I note most cycles don't have a carrier, let alone the bag.
I actually went up Rapaki track along the summit to the Bridle Path which I used to drop in to Lyttelton. Stopped in on friends then Evans Pass and once at Ferry Rd/Tunnel Rd I took to tracks and back roads again.
Loved it, took about 1hour 20 minutes to Lyttelton and same to get home. That must be fairly slow as I was over taken by most other cycles I saw.

[Harvd]

twas a beautiful day for it too!

[JMemonic]

I left the lights on, I don't know why but I thought after I took the shot its been tagged before but I cant find it.

[Transalper]

I know it :niceone: and no it hasn't been done before.
Now, how wet and cold do I want to get in the morning?

[JMemonic]

I know it :niceone: and no it hasn't been done before.
Now, how wet and cold do I want to get in the morning?

Wet and cold right, now why is it that you know it I wonder.

[Transalper]

Ahh, not to cold and not wet at all :banana:
We are looking at another hestoricish building this time in Lyttelton on the corner of Norwich Quay and Donald St.

[JMemonic]

As I understand it that is a listed building, mind you half of Lyttelton is that way. Well done Carl.

[Transalper]

Righto I'm back.
Here's the answer to life, the universe and everything (so I like the HHGTTG), it's Tag #42.

There's still plenty of the day left and the weather's not as bad as expected.
This is outside on an open limit road.
On ya bikes.

[JMemonic]

Think I know this one but I am off to work now, if its not gone today it will be tomorrow.

[martinrz]

Too o ccoolld tto type. Old west Coast Road

[martinrz]

This ones a bit closer to Town. End of weekend easy one.

[Transalper]

Ohhhhh, ok, I'll put my jacket back on and get the bke out again.
I'll have to use the phone camera this time as the real camera is on the charger.
Good job on the last one.

[Transalper]

Gee thanks for making my toes cold.
It's the Transport Museum in School Rd, Yaldhurst.

[fireliv]

Now I remember!!! I really got to try and think harder about these tags cos I do know so many of them!

[cruza]

Bit of variety of tags this weekend , managed to identify last couple , but no time for biking this weekend:rolleyes:

[Transalper]

Tag #44 begins...

I suppose it's nice to have a pond with ducks outside your door.
I wonder how many :confused: residents go home to the wrong house , I guess it doesn't matter, they're all the same :rolleyes:

Just discovered the camera on the phone (new freeby phone) was set to minimum quality, that's fixed now, ready for next time.

Tag #44 begins...

I suppose it's nice to have a pond with ducks outside your door.


I can't see too many Mai mai's .... perhaps not many residents are duck shooters ... :innocent:

Slightly different angles but I am sure its the right place

And the next one which I found while riding down the road, I honestly never knew this existed before today

That's the spot alright.
Not sure about the new one although I have seen some red poles recently that may require further investigation.
Not by me this time, maybe.... for now.

Geeeezzzz it's nagging at me now, finish work at 9:30pm. Please someone save me from myself and get it before I have to go satisfy my curiosity.

It is behind locked gates at night so you can leave it till the morning

[Transalper]

Now I really think it's where I'm thinking, I think I can bypass the gate padestrian style or if I use the MTB to get there.
Traffic getting back home in the morning will suck if I go then. It would suck worse if i'm wrong :mad:

Couldnt help ya intrepid one!!

Wots the bet Transalper has this one nailed shortly lol!:wari:

he wont sleep otherwise:yawn:

[Transalper]

:done:
It's at the Janet Stewart Reserve on Lower Styx Rd very close to Marshland Rd.
Got to thank that geocaching hobby again for having me visit there earlier.
Bike slipped past the gate nicely.:whistle:

[Transalper]

Try this for the next one.

Well done that man, I think he is too well travelled, I have no idea where that on is but when Kerry wakes it maybe solved.

[LittleAngel]

Try this for the next one.

With a little bit of research... I know where this is...:shifty: Am off sick today... and can't be identified with my gear on so I may go and collect once the frost clears...

[Transalper]

... I think he is too well travelled...
For anyone interested here's a link and screen shot of part of the Geocaching map around the Christchurch area.
(http://www.geocaching.com/map/?lat=-43.51967608523922&lng=172.6278305053711&zm=12&mt=h) Dial up may require a little patients while it loads.
The little smiley faces in the screen shot are caches I have visited and found. The ones in the sea are not in the sea, they were puzzels that had to be solved first, the actual cache was somewhere else.
There are others that have only one icon on the map but make you visit several places to pick up a trail that leads you to another final destination.
Of course to make the most of it you really need a GPS but some can be done with out.
This is a great way to discover all sorts of places and things. :niceone:
To claim a cache you find it, sign the log book it contains, replace it back where it was, then go online and log the find.
According to the stats I have only found 247 caches around the South Island so far out of thousands hidden about the place.

:Offtopic: Anyway, as you were.

Good luck with being first today Little Angel.
Looks like a nice day and yes, mind the frost.

[Transalper]

This might help with perspective for some... or not.
No hurry though, really. This game is costing far too much in fuel etc. which could be better spent on real trips latter if I saved it.
The night shot and the google map street view equivalent. There's more leaves in the google view so I guess it was a warmer season when they took that, unlike the summit road where it has snow. They must have been driving the camera cars around for a while.

[JMemonic]

I dont know it from those either, but it looks well tucked away, a very nice one to try and find.

[FJRider]

Too far to pedal .... lol. Might take a while to go.

[Transalper]

lol, too far to pedal from Alex. It's only about 15km from my place. Would prefer warmer weather on the MTB though.

[LittleAngel]

I am 100% certain I know where it is... but my bike was being temperamental again today so didn't collect damnit!!! :crybaby: Think she just needs a bloody good tune up and service...

[Transalper]

Wondered what happened to your plans.
Have another go, it's still waiting.

.... It's only about 15km from my place. ....
Assume I live basically where the Iorn Art Tree person sculptures are from Tag#40. if you haven't already worked that out.


Are we waiting for more clues or just all too busy or broken at the moment?
I'm happy to let it ride for another day or so before the biggest give away clue but may be able to give another intermediate clue or two if it's asked for.

[martinrz]

That was an interesting one.
