Day Three Andersons Bay

For today's effort I decided to start where I finished yesterday which meant starting in Tomahawk Road in Andersons Bay.  It also meant that today that there would be a lot more climbing as I was now walking streets on the hill.  Today I walked 14 streets.

10. Gloucester Street
11. Spencer Street
12. Stirling Street
13. Oakland Street
14. Hunt Street
15. Duckworth Street
16. Puketai Street
17. Darnell Street
18. Jeffery Street
19. Kinvig Street
20. Heath Street
21. Sunbury Street
22. Woodside Terrace
23. Merchiston Street

I also walked part of Silverton Street and part of Highcliff Road but I'm not counting these streets until I have completed them. 

It was good to walk along Glochester Street first as it overlooks Ocean Grove and gave me good views of where I had walked yesterday.  

 
From Glochester Street it was easy to 'tick' off  a number of streets as Spencer, Stirling, Oakland, Hunt and Duckworth Streets are horizontal to each other and it was reasonably quick to walk up one and down the other.  
 
As I mentioned yesterday, walking the streets means that you notice things that you would otherwise miss and today I noticed this letterbox which was a miniature of the house it belonged to.  

The second half of my walk was a little harder as I was walking down then up the hill.  First I followed Jeffery, then Kinvig and Heath Street down the hill before working my way back up via Sunbury Street.  

One of the benefits of walking the streets on the hill, is that it gives me a chance to see Dunedin from different angles and today I had another good view over the city, this time from Merchiston Street. 


Distance walked: 8.2km     Walking time 1hr  33mins    

Total distance: 18.1km       Total walking 3 hr 22 mins

Otago Harbour Cycleway 30 October 2023

With my sister in town, it seemed a shame to waste a calm, sunny day so the two of us hopped on a bike each to enjoy the recently opened 32k...
