Reach every hill in the city in one day
“Each hill alone is a pleasant afternoon. Chaining every one of the city's high points into a single day, dropping into the valleys between them, is a proper mountain day hidden inside the streets.”
The Recipe
- Find every named hill, mount or high point inside your city on a map, and plot an order that reaches them all on foot in a day.
- Start at the one furthest from home, first thing, so the day walks back towards your own bed.
- Climb each high point to its actual top, not just the park or streets around it.
- From each summit, pick out the next one before you drop down towards it.
- Take the direct line down into each valley and up the next, on foot, rather than the roads around.
- Eat on whichever top you reach at midday, out of the wind.
- Keep going through the afternoon, where a pleasant day turns into an actual achievement on the last two.
- Stand on the final top having linked them all, and trace the whole chain back across the skyline.
