An opinionated guide to driving NZ's most boring road, SH1 Christchurch to TimaruALDEN WILLIAMS/STUFF Alastair Paulin takes on the drive on State Highway 1 from Christchurch to Timaru. "Watching people speed up when you get 100 metres from a passing lane." I would drive from Christchurch to Timaru and back and enjoy it, damn it, to help you survive your summer holiday road trip. ALDEN WILLIAMS/STUFF State Highway 1 from Christchurch to Timaru is straight, flat and boring. From Christchurch to Timaru would be 165 kilometres for a trip that usually takes a bit over two hours.
