For a proper steep street, you need to walk up Baldwin St in Dunedin. Reputed to be the steepest residential street in the world. We did it about 2.5 weeks ago and we now have the certificate. We drove up it afterwards, and it felt like the car was going to fall off the road.

Wiki wrote:The street is the venue for an annual event in Dunedin, the Baldwin Street Gutbuster. Every summer since 1988 this exercise in fitness and balance involves athletes running from the base of the street to the top and back down again. The event attracts several hundred competitors annually and the race record is 1:56.


I've entered Cromwell for it .... :mrgreen:
