Day Thirty Five Roslyn

 Today I had a good workout by walking some steep streets in Roslyn.  I walked 9 streets. 

453. Selkirk Street
454. Littlebourne Road
455. Melrose Street
456. Avon Street
457. Tweed Street
458. Fifield Street
459. Garfield Avenue
460. Pacific Street
461. Merlin Street

The first street I walked was down the hill on Selkirk Street and onto Littlebourne Road whose residents get a good view of the harbour.  It was great to realise that I had walked all the streets that I could see on the other side of the harbour. 

From Littlebourne Road, I followed the streets that skirted around the edge of the town belt where I had walked a couple of days ago.  These streets are quite steep and I had to walk up and down them but they also have some great views  looking towards the end of the harbour. .

One of the benefits of walking on the hills are the fantastic views and I am enjoying seeing Dunedin from different angles as I move around the city. 

 Of course what goes down must also go up and Pacific Street was one of the streets I walked up.  It is a particularly steep street with steps and a hand rail on both sides.  I was very glad to get to the top. 

Something interesting I saw on my walk today was this neat police phone box letter box.  It is quite large and would hold a lot of mail.

And lastly this is the map showing where I have walked so far in my challenge to walk every street in Dunedin.  I have walked all the streets coloured in red. 

Distance walked:  5.6 km      Walking time  1 hr 05 mins    

Total distance: 296.8 km       Total walking  55 hr 41 mins

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...
