Munro Drive Walk

I love walking.

On rest days I miss having my feet on the path.

Bounded out the house early this morning. Even though Fred is still not feeling too well he put up with my enthusiasm.

Munro Drive is our best option for some power walking to get fit for hills, it winds up Houghton Ridge. In fact it's a 3km uphill most of the way from home to the top of the ridge.

Apparently Munro Drive was built by Italian prisoners of war during the Second World War.

Found this old postcard photo of Munro Drive which shows the steep switchback near the top of the ridge.

My feet were so happy with their 'spoil' today, a pedicure and massage.
