Donna dragged me on this 4 hour bike ride which started off with about a 1500ft climb up the Port Hills. These seperate Christchurch from Lyttleton Harbour which you can just see, with the Banks Peninsula in the background.

The Arts Centre in Christchurch which used to be the university, taken from Hagley Park.
Okay, so I didn't actually take this from the house, but seeing the sky from the lounge window, I rushed outside to the park about 250 yards away.
Woodend Beach - deserted as usual, 4km (that's about 2.5 miles in old money) from home.
