=== North ===
(toward Toward Kaikoura, Picton, The West Coast, or Nelson.) The best option used to be Belfast, but recent (2018) changes to motorways and bus routes and timetables and pricing mean the best option now is to take a Metro bus to Woodend. http://www.metroinfo.co.nz/journeyplanner/index.html?regionRegion=Christchurch&mode=christchurchfull#/journey_plans/new
If it is a nice day (not too hot or raining) the best spot is directly opposite Woodend Methodist Church. In case of hot or wet weather hitch from the St Barnabas Anglican Church - there is a small roof structure that can provide sun or rain shelter.
Note if you are headed highway 1 to Picton via Kaikoura and your ride is going h7 toward Hanmer Springs you are best to get out at Amberley (best spot is near the Charles Upham statue) as the intersection of highway 1 and h7 is not a good spot to hitch North from.
