Christchurch is the biggest city in the South Island of New Zealand.

Graticule
Christchurch has a reasonably nice Graticule (-43,172), containing about 70% land, with Christchurch situated close to the middle.
GeoHashes
2008-10-16 -43 172
Very close to the University of Canterbury.

Ecksoh suggested a new meet-up point by dragging it near the city, closing her eyes, squiggling the mouse around a little, and setting it down. The meet-up had previously been planned for the ocean. It looks like it's in the southeast-ish.

Nice day at the beach for Evil Monkey. Turns out I missed Maximus by only a few minutes. After staying at the hash for about ten minutes, biked up to Bottle Lake Forest Park for some mountain biking.

Close to town so Evil Monkey hopped on his bike.
31 May & 1 and 2 June
Unfortunately the geohashes for Saturday, Sunday and Monday are once again far outside the city of Christchurch and the bus system. Evil Monkey also has a cold and so doesn't feel like trying to bike to them. Some have tried: 2008-05-31
Saturday 24 May 2008
Saturday's GeoHash was here, it looked like it is halfway up a hill, and it's hard to tell where the Popper Road ends, could be a 1km walk, possibly even worth a MNIMB Award.
UPDATE: It turned out to be more difficult with Phire having to be rescued by the police. Did not help that the track is no longer maintained by DOC.
