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

Christchurch has a reasonably nice Graticule (-43,172), containing about about 70% land, with Christchurch situated close to the middle.
GeoHashes
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.
gregh headed out to Lees Valley on Saturday but underestimated the amount of time it would take just to drive there, and turned back as the sun was setting. Nice drive, though.
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 Did not help that the track is no longer maintained by DOC.
