SUMNER..Christchurch/Canterbury

by pepples46 - last update: Jul 21, 2006

a fine Seaside Village

Cave Rock
around 10km from the City Center serviced by the local Busses....have Lunch,walk along the Promenade on a sunny day, one can see the Kaikoura Ranges in the Distance, climbing up Cave Rock and feel free like a Bird
Taylor's Mistake
Sumner and Scarborough onto Taylor's Mistake. best Surf Beach around here. why is it called Taylor's Mistake....one of the Ships who brought the Settlers to this shores, missed the Entrance of Lyttleton Harbour, the Captains Name was Taylor
Sumner in the foreground..from Evans Pass
I live around the Corner, and
it's the place with the best Beaches, great food, fine walks around the Porthills, and a great scenic drive to the Port of Lyttelton. from Evans Pass you have a great view over Christchurch and Pegasus Bay...in Summer the view stretches to Kaikoura and the Rangers of the Southern Alps
in Winter, good too like today, in July 2006..smog is blocking the vista. still, it has been a warmish winterday
