Walking the St Leonards Hills

Today I left from home and walked all the streets of St Leonards from Gannet Lane to Wren Lane and then St Leonards Road onto SH 88 and back to home. I was amazed at the steepness of some of the hills.

Started 10am Finished 12.25pm Distance 10km (estimated)

Semi-Retirement Starts Today

Today is the first official date of my "semi" retirement. One of my goals is to walk "every" street in Dunedin.

I parked in the main street of Port Chalmers and walked around the eastern portion of Port Chalmers. The walk finished with a 4km walk around the Back Beach

Started 9:10 Finished 11:38 Time 2hrs 28mins Approximate Distance 12kms

The Rain Won't Stop

This afternoon the walker's group of the Caversham Harrier's Club met at the Southern Rugby Clubrooms. 16 of us headed up Macandrew Road turning left into Forbury Road and headed off to St Clair Beach. As we walked onto Kettle Park the head wind was biting. We travelled along Victoria Road and onto Queen Street. Somewhere down this street we turned left and then onto Bayfield Road. At Prince Albert Road we turned right and then later, left onto Macandrew Road until we hit the clubrooms to complete the 6km walk. It took an hour. It rained for the entire walk.
