Day Nineteen Calton Hill

 It was extremely hot walking today as the temperature rose over 30C.  Today I walked 10 streets.

230. Cuba Street
231. Nottingham Crescent
232. Ryehill Street
233. Waimea Avenue
234. Pladda Street\
235. Columba Avenue
236. Panmure Avenue
237. Mariner Street
238. Milford Avenue
239. Riselaw Road 

I started my walk having to walk up and around Cuba Street and Nottingham Crescent.  It was nice to be rewarded with views of the city from Nottingham Crescent so early in my walk.

 

And I had the bonus of looking across to Corstorphine and see the streets that I had walked yesterday.  It was nice to be able to trace the route I had taken yesterday.  

I also walked along the short part of South Road that is above the motorway on ramp.  This part of the road runs beside the motorway.  It was quite unnerving when a big truck zoomed past with only a concrete barrier separating me from the traffic.  

Then it was up a set of steep steps which took me to Columba Avenue.  Here I ended up walking a complete circle to ensure that I walked the entire street.  There were some good views from Columba Avenue looking towards Concord which is where I will be heading soon.  

Then I got to complete Riselaw Road and headed down Sidey Street.  Sidey Street has great views looking towards Corstorphine and St Clair.  I spent some time here as it was really good knowing that I had walked nearly all the streets that I could see. 

Today I saw two interesting things on my walk.  One was this neat home made letterbox and the other was this boat parked on the side of the road. The boat going no where gave me a good giggle.
