Steep Street

This is the most famous street in Dunedin,in fact the most famous street in NZ.
Baldwin Street, at Dunedin's Northern end is reputed by the Guinness Book of Records as being the steepest street in the world. 35% gradient = 1:2.86 You are advised against taking a car up the street so no cheating please. It is a very invigorating walk to the top on a cold day. Only about a ten minute walk but you can sure feel it.
At its maximum, the slope of Baldwin Street is approximately (19° or 35%) - that is, for every 2.86 metres travelled horizontally, the altitude rises by 1 metre.
Not many tourists there this morning, the young lady in the photo was going to the top but I chickened out!!
Another fine and warm winters day.
