A bit of a change of direction & a return to Urambi Hill. I rarely go there now, but in the past I can remember doing repeats up and down that hill.
With the introduction of GPS measuring devises, the gradient up the front track was at 20% and I thought that was steep. I could run/jog it back then.
Today, I ran from work to Pine Is, then along the river track to the Tuggie Creek stone wall.
Just to make things a little more difficult, I walked, no way I could run, up the western side rough track. The gradient up the 400 metres or so is steep, on par with Stockyard Spur. Toughest short up hill I know.
Then down to the lake edge, flat at last & smoother on the way back to work. Nice day out, something a little different.
