A very disappointing turnout, for one of the most spectacular runs this season.
Selwyn, Steve and Patrick (Guest) commenced an early morning ascent of the Franz Josef Glacier located on the west coast of the South Island NZ.
We set off at a healthy pace around 4 Kilometres from the foot of the glacier. After around a kilometre we encountered a barrier warning not to proceed beyond this point due to the imminent danger of falling rocks and ice. Undettered by this warning our hardy runners proceeded forward, the terrain turning from a shingle path to a dangerous moonscape of treacherous rocks and fast flowing torrents. We reached the foot of the glacier around half an hour later whereupon we chanced upon a semi-clad Swedish masseuse named Helga looking for Big John (too shy to pose for the photie).

When you said the run was going to be in Christchurch I thought you meant the one in Dorset......
