well actually Dad reckons any beer worth drinking only comes in a green bottle, maybe my tast buds are yet to develope.

Heres a hint people, this photo was taken very close to the tag.

Ah you poor mite, I can see where this is going to take you in the future and its not good, green bottles indeed, there's plenty of rubbish beers put into green bottles then called export quality but oddly never exported.

I would go and get it but I don't drink beer dont worry, with the tribe he has there there will be pleanty of coke in the fridge.

[neels]

Only stuff in brown bottles atm sorry. There is a bottle of 12 year old scotch in the cupboard, but it seems a shame to disturb it after it's sat there unmolested for 19 years.

Not much of a bonus then, is it.

Always coke in the fridge, and always something to go with it.

I was going to go slightly further afield for the new tag, but the scooter is running like a bag of shit so I was happy just to make it home again, unlike the last time it was out and came home on the trailer :o

[been_there]

Time for a clue

[dangerous]

Time for a clue
well if its were I think it is, that river thing is rather tidel, I remember headed out in the jet boat at high tide one day and forgot the time... on return, in order to get the boat on the trailer ment full throtle and all I was doing was drawing mud through the system.. but made it.

[neels]

OK, clue time, dangerous is almost on the money

It's beside the river of hate that separates the world of the living from Hades, so be on the lookout :shit: It's upstream from the gates so not as tidal as further down the river.

Happy googling

[neels]

OK, either you guys haven't figured it out or the ones that know can't be arsed going to the boat ramp on the Styx river in Brooklands, even with the offer of a free beer, so I'll attempt to get things going again with this.

[sleemanj]

I know where this one is, will collect this afternoon if nobody beats me to it.

Old tag, Cracroft's old stone house. Originally built to house the farm workers. More recently a community center, and wedding venue.

If I guessed about here, would I be right?

Yeah, but things appeared to have ground to a halt so I thought it was time to get it moving again.

Besides, you said you weren't interested because you don't drink beer

[neels]

I'm not sure if they didn't have the money to maintain the building, or if the airport company gave them the arse (it's probably on their land), they moved out to wigram instead.

The B club, and why did they replace the real thing with a fiberglass replica... ;)
They took it down before it fell down, it was slowly corroding away after sitting in the same place for 50 years.

[dangerous]

The Brevet Club at the entrance to Chch airport.

in this case Brevet refers to the "wings" awarded to air force pilots when they are qualified.
The Brevet club was established as a fundraising memorial club to former airmen, the funding was to go towards their well being as they got on in life, [a bit like the RSA ]
The building they had on the corner of Russley Rd and Memorial Ave was a venue for hire, for weddings, dances and other such functions. This building was in place from the early 1960's till the late 1990's early 2000 era.
I think the Brevet Club got less active as the years went by, the building and site were sold, the roundabout that is at that intersection took up a lot of the site that the Brevet club buildings were on. The land I believe, is now owned by the CHC Airport Company
It was quite a stylish building for its day, essentially aerodynamic in shape, the ceiling was all varnished Rimu if I remember rightly
I think the Brevet club still exists, I am sure there is a Brevet room at the Wigram Museum, this is also let out for functions, as is the hall of aircraft hangar. Whether or not the club has a tie up with this facility I dont know.

The 2nd pic is the entire wall, again IIRC the yellow beam you can see was part of the buildings construction they went around the building and held it up.

[far queue]

back in a sec...Tosser! I got the pics at lunch time but then my camera shit itself so I couldn't get the pics off untill I got home. I figured someone would beat me to it. Oh well, you won.

It's at the site of the old Brevet Club by the airport.

Same reason they did it all over the world, real ones are way to valuble na... IIRC some little shit set it alight so it was replaced with the fiberglass job... and it cant of been there 50 years cos I have a pic of it on the tar mack that RGJ took when he was working there.

right just edited my preivious post, adding the info on the tag.

I am sure there is a Brevet room at the Wigram Museum.Yup, they shut up shop at the airport and moved the brevet club to wigram.


na... IIRC some little shit set it alight so it was replaced with the fiberglass job... and it cant of been there 50 years cos I have a pic of it on the tar mack that RGJ took when he was working there.They took the original aeroplane down and took molds of it and built a fibreglass one which was then set on fire, so they build a fireproof fibreglass one which is the one that's still there. The original metal aeroplane that was falling apart was restored at the air force museum, I think it's still there.

So anyone got an idea of the latest tag, or do I have to give it away?

[neels]

hey found a picture of the beast on the tar mack, on the back it says early 70's and flying, so cant of been strung up for to long.
Perhaps I should revise that then, it was there for as long as I can remember (which isn't as far back as the early 70's)

Are those pumps open to the public?

[Transalper]

Not sure. Web info says New Zealands Oldest Operating General Store (to the right of the phone box and out of the picture) as selling fuel presumably from those pumps and lists opening hours... but we were there well within the opening hours listed online and the doors were locked.

I notice when searching for New Zealands Oldest Operating General Store more than one store trys to put claim on that give or take a few words unless you use quotes.

You may as well just given out the address, now if only I hadn't stripped the tyres off the road bike to go on the race bike

You may as well just given out the address... maybe he should LOL I googled 'New Zealands Oldest Operating General Store' and got a hole ton a shit, closest I came was Okains bay, and it looks nothing like the tag :)

[Transalper]

The Store is to the right of the phone box out of the photo so if you are looking at a photo of just the store you won't see the phone box or old garage front.

There was a Tag in the same bay ages ago but that one was down nearer the beach.
Plenty of other history in the area if you take a moment to wander round.

Now if you take that loop German Rd is a good calibration of suspension depending on speed, Street Triple bounced out of seat 9 times, add $1350 mods cut to 4 times, TDM only twice with no mods.

Shit I don't know, I just bought it cos it was only $50.

I think the RB was still twin shock, RC was the first mono shock, RE in 85 was the first with the twin carbs which is when they went black with a red frame, a mate of mine had one back in the 80's. I think the blue/yellow was an XR colour scheme not XL? Maybe?

I dont mind updating the map if there is enough demand for it. Does anyone else still use it?

[Transalper]

Personally I wouldn't be too concernd if some stuff gets tagged twice, bound to happen sooner or later.

I can invite 'collaborators' to edit the map or it might just be easier to open it up to allow anyone or everyone to edit it.

:blink: :blink: :blink: The map (http://maps.google.co.nz/maps/ms?client=firefox-a&hl=en&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=104006398483911262434.00046cc21673b6bad5b7e&z=9) has been fully updated. There have been around 50 new tags since the map was last updated with dangerous and neels playing huge roles.

The tag locations should be in the correct locations except tag map numbers 134 Lincoln University and 157 Sunnyside shelter which are in the general area as I could not see them from google satellite images. Feel free to adjust their position and any other tags you think are not quite in the correct locations.

The link to the map is in my kb signature for future reference. Play on:Punk:

Shit I forgot to grab the tag this morning. How long do I have to post a new tag?

I don't reconise the new tag.

[Kickaha]

I don't reconise the new tag.

I think I do, stuffed if I will be biking that far though (especially as I might be wrong)

[neels]

I don't reconise the new tag.I do.

Cust river bridge, Threlkelds Rd.

No school bus, but a blue corolla, does that count for a few crumbs?

Geez I thought it would last longer than that lol

Geez I thought it would last longer than that lolRecognise it from taking the scenic route by accident along the stop bank on the way to get coffee from......

the new tag
206662206663

there are 2 of these in Canterbury so make sure you get the right one. I've stuck in a closer pic 'cos it's a bit hard to see in the background.

[Spuds1234]

What is it?

[Transalper]

Not sure what it is but here is I assume the 'other one - Tag 033' (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=1129290083&postcount=616)

That would be right, if you squint your eyes you might be able to read the sign to find out what it is.

The other one is about 15k's away as the crow flies (or a big bird on a norwest day), you cross tag #173 (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/100405-Tagorama?p=1129730672#post1129730672)to get to it (that's how I knew where it was), it's marked on a topomap & clearly visible on google.

If I give away any more than that I might as well draw a map:confused:

I think I need a map, I know what it is but cant find a website that shows their location in canterbury.

[Vgygrwr]

With a map guess you will find it on Isaac Rd off South Eyre Rd. Sort of understand how doppler effect is used to measure speed with radar so do these measure the speed of weather systems? New tag could be a bit of low flying with a lot of imagination.

Very cool....and very quick. Must be the fastest tag pickup yet.

Would have been quicker but I wanted to finish tea before it went cold, should be a new one up tomorrow

[Kickaha]

The Boys will help you find it

[neels]

I braved the wilds of sunday morning Rangiora traffic, fortuately there was a suzuki vitara between me and the lady in the mitsi station wagon who wasn't looking where she was going and rear ended it, otherwise I might not have made it to the secret rear entrance to the northbrook subdivision, Boys Rd.

[neels]

New tag, on a street a bit closer to the city, and sort of on another city's street.

[cromagnon]

I know I have been through this roundabout before but cant remember where it is.

[neels]

I'll make my clue a little less cryptic (must be spending too much time doing the crossword in the morning)

The street it's on is named after a new zealand city, shouldn't be too hard to find as according to wikipedia there are only 15 cities in new zealand.

Yup there are 15 cities in NZ, about 10 of them have streets in christchurch. I had run past this roundabout a few times, not too far from uni.

Hamilton Ave roundabout at intersection with chilcombe st.

[cromagnon]

New tag. A scenic drive within the city.

[JellyBellyKelly]

oh think i actually know where this one is... won't be getting it though

is a lovely place :)

[cromagnon]

If anyone is still playing, here is a hint: The location of scenic drive is through a property that was known as "Karewa" but the name was changed to its current name by Annie Quayle Townend. http://tinyurl.com/285w2cb

[neels]

I know's where it is, I just haven't had a chance to get there on the bike yet.

Third attempt at taking the bike to work to get this tag, finally escaped while it was still light, in time for a quick trip to Mona Vale

[neels]

New tag, this place is no longer for sale....sorry about the blurry picture.

[cromagnon]

I thought I had killed this thread, but it breathes again

[Spuds1234]

The google pic is a bit old, but Im pretty sure I know where it is.

If its not gone by Saturday I'll grab it.

Good work rumgir l:2thumbsup Just for the records/map, what is the name and location of the old tag?


this may have been done before i was too lazy to look before i went out for my ride

I might add this tag to the long list of mountain bike tags :sweatdrop this weekend if the weather holds out and nobody beats me to it

[Transalper]

It's dooable by DR too. I prefer to go down it on the 650 though especially if it's been a bit wet up there.

[cromagnon]

I have gone up it on a DR200 but that was at the start of summer and I could place both feet down (cheating really). The 250 is a few inches higher but I would still prefer to go up it than down with the wet clay and deep :gob: ruts.

[Transalper]

I find I get stuck going up but coming down to be much easier. CRF230 I go both ways.

[dangerous]

this may have been done before i was too lazy to look before i went out for my ride :yes:
NA... this white boy needs a clue please...
and where did you pick the tag up from?

[Ghost_Bullet]

Easy... D, its that place that is near a forest and cameras are operating... mmmm and that access way which allows to private property... that sign had to be written by a lady hehe....

[JellyBellyKelly]

sorry - last tag was canterbury sheep yards opp hagley park

new tag is up a hill, nice view of city and surrounding area :)

[JellyBellyKelly]

I find I get stuck going up but coming down to be much easier. I go both ways.

we are talking motorbikes?????? mmmm maybe it's been too long since i've had some adult cuddles :gob:

[Transalper]

Yes it was all motorbike speak, in no other way do I go both ways :eek5:
As for a lack of adult cuddles, I assume cuddles at HOTs party, not so sure if you'll see any adults though. :laugh:

[cromagnon]

Old tag - Access sign at the top of worsleys rd, well top of the sealed section. I followed some fresh motorbike tracks up the rest of the road too.

[cromagnon]

New tag - taken on the same ride, which lasted about 2 hours.

[JellyBellyKelly]

nice looking playground - my boys would love it :yes: (ok so would i)..... no idea where it is though :scratch:

[neels]

So I finally managed to get out to pick up the tag, a bit later than I planned *mumble mumble working late @#$%ing riding in the dark* so apologies for the very dark murky picture of the playground at Centaurus park.

[Transalper]

You Bugger, I had intended going for it tomorrow afternoon on the way to Rapaki.
Haven't had much of an oppertunity myself lately and been less than interested by 9pm after work in the dark too.

[neels]

And for the next one, the pub with no beer (or glass in the windows). Not surprising it's got a few holes in it given it's name, hopefully this might spark some interest in the game again.

When I ran down rapaki tonight at about 6.30 there were still people heading up in the dark.

[neels]

You Bugger, I had intended going for it tomorrow afternoon on the way to Rapaki.
Well you've had about 3 weeks of miserable weather to go and get it :blink: I almost wasn't going to bother today but seeing as I took the bike in the frost just so I could I went in the dark anyway.


Seen better days that building.
I was known to visit the place in it's better days, when I was a bit younger, their bottle store would sell beer to anybody :whistle:


Yup thats the one, I thought I had killed it off.

Nah, just in hibernation for a little while. There were people parking their cars at the bottom of Rapaki when i went past after taking the photo. Got funny looks from the people going through the park riding the bike in there, and provided some interest for the person looking out their window wondering what the hell I was doing :shifty:

[Transalper]

Only just clicked to where it was on Monday, hadn't thought much about it until then, wasn't one I knew straight off the top of my head.
No idea as yet on the new one.

clue?It can be seen from two roads in google maps but it's far enough away from one road to be a crappy indistinct picture and from the other road only glimpses of it can be seen through the Toi Toi's.

Oh, and I must say how pleased I am to finally have a tag where everyone hasn't gone "I know where that is" and then shot out and got it in 5 mins :D I have more clues and other pics if they're needed, but you can work on today's clues first.

Make no mistake some of us were indeed out and about keeping an eye out but just didn't see it.
The new clue may have made a difference, but I'm afraid it's back to google maps for the Monday to Thursday hunting.
