I started my walk by going downhill then straight back up which seemed to be the theme of my walking today - down then up, back down then up again. I walked down Lynn Street past the sports fields of Balmacewan Intermediate and then up the hill after the sports fields.
Once past Balmacewan Intermediate I was able to connect back up with Balmacewan Road where I had been walking yesterday, then it was back down Lynn Street and I was able to look back at streets I had walked recently.
One of the benefits of walking on the hills is the views. I am always happy to stop and look back to where I have come from (past the round about) and also to see all the streets that I still have to walk (everything behind the round about).
I was able to join up some streets onto Kaikorai Valley Road where I had finished walking a couple of weeks ago.I have walked everything on the left of Kaikorai Valley Road but I have not walked any of the streets on the right.
Once I was onto walking Tyne Street I was able to look over to Wakari and see some of the streets I had walked earlier today but most of what I could see are streets that I have not been to yet. I also enjoyed the view of Flagstaff again. Flagstaff is the hill behind the houses.
The area I walked today has a number of quiet green spaces that are worth exploring further. I passed the community garden which I will need to visit another time and the Kaikorai Reserve which has been developed into a lagoon/wetlands area. Again I didn't have the time to stop and explore further but I will be making a return visit soon.
I also passed the Craighall Crescent Recreation Reserve hidden on Craighall Crescent which is one of over a hundred reserves within the Dunedin City boundary.
Today I walked past Columba College which is a high school established in 1915 by the Presbyterian Church as a boarding and day school for girls. Parts of the school date back to it's start with impressive stone buildings.
