Plans

Today's geohash is in the Port Hills that overlook Christchurch, which is public reserve - this should be simple!

Expedition

From Google Maps it looked like the geohash was near some sort of walking track - and it turned out this was the case - above Victoria Park.

There was a mountain bike track through, and it looked like today was race day!

As we walked towards the geohash, we happened upon a memorial to mountaineer Rob Hall, who died on Mt Everest in 1996. The memorial included a circle of Nepalese prayer flags. So this was a real treat to find this.

Continuing another few hundred metres and we zeroed in on the geohash, which I reckoned was at the base of a flax, with a beautiful lookout over Christchurch city.
