Yesterday morning, at some ungodly hour, Sarah contacted me and asked if I wanted to climb the Bridle Path with her. In my delirious, somewhat half asleep state I agreed.<\/p>\n

So at an hour that most people I know would still be sleeping, I found myself climbing up one very steep hill.

\nThis is the view from a bit over half way up, looking down on the Heathcote Valley.<\/p>\n

On the way down I slipped on the shingle path and made a mess of my left leg. It was quite bloody and gross, but Sarah’s mother cleaned it up for me.<\/p>\n


\nThis is it much later in the night, after the bloody and redness was gone.<\/p>\n

After David and I had dinner on the verandah last night, Chloe came round to go star gazing. We got talking about the Bridle Path and I went on a google search to find images of the steep path.<\/p>\n

I ended up coming across this website http:\/\/canterburyheritage.blogspot.com\/ which has some crazy and very cool old images of Christchurch.<\/p>\n


\nThis was the first one I found. I think its really awesome. On the way to our walk we missed the turn off and ended up driving through the tunnel and having to turn back.
\nThere was a lot of discussion on how well the tunnel had aged considering how used it is and how old it is.<\/p>\n

One of the things I love about that image is the depiction of cyclists going through the tunnel. Something we know is quite laughable now (except for that one day a year they allow it.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
