According to DOC walking classifications, Godly heads is an easy to moderate three hour return track. It has an exposed head land on top of sheer 100 meter high cliffs on a good day this walk can provide magnificent views. From the centre of Christchurch it's a 30 minute drive to the coastal suburb of Sumner. From Sumner, it's another 10 minutes to drive over to Taylors Mistake (The start of the Godly headsTrack). Godly heads is a well formed and has old gun ports that used to have cannons which shot at enemy ships in the war. There is a kiwi guardians post that you can collect and get a medal for it. At the end of the track there is a gate if you go past that gate you will be starting the Crater Rim Track. 
As some of you know I am a very keen walker. I was really looking ford to get up and start. We walked along a small foot path alongside the beach for a start. Then we climbed up so we got a good view of the sea. After a whiles treak came round to the old gun points which we explored. Near the end of where we went to there is some old house foundations. It looked like they had been there for ages. We had lunch at the camping grounds and then came back down. Overall the track was sturdy and well worn the views were spectacular so I would do it again.
