Balmoral Burn
There’s a really big steep hill that goes from my place down to Balmoral Beach, the street is called Awaba st. One of the famous rugby players who lives in the area started a running contest to run up the bloody thing, today was the day and so I went for a wander to take some pics of the people in excruciating pain :) Didn’t get many though I think I managed to get a decent one of this guy from Google 
I was foolish enough to run up it one day a couple of years ago in some crazy desire to be fit and let me tell you, it just gets STEEPER AND STEEPER! it’s only 420 metres (my run up was a little longer as I went to the very top) though it’s 420 metres of calf burning torture.
Amazingly the guy who won did it in like 1:22 (last year in 1:20).
