Another installment of hill-fest 2015 took me up the dreaded Ecko Road. Luckily it has an entrance to the hospital running off it in case of collapse but despite my lack of fitness no emergency care was needed ;)
Having grown up just across the highway, this was literally a walk down memory lane and I loved every second of it. Got into a conversation with a lady who wondered if I was 'from the Shire' there to do something about paving the alleyway next to her house. She'd spied me taking as photo of it and thought I may be a City worker there to get things moving re: the constant requests she's apparently been making over the last eight years to get the alleyway seen to. Sadly I had to tell her that wasn't the case, and mentioned she was lucky just to have it still functioning and open; many have been closed down, probably explaining my need to document the ones citizens can still use.
