Hill Climb
5 March 2026
Pincushion Protea


Most of my Walker walking thus far has been on the flat i.e., along the road that our Unit is in. I have been half-way up the hill to reach the parking behind the flats twice.

On the first occasion I returned via the same route once I had reached the far end of the parking. On the second occasion I went onto the grass and descended the hill there to reach the far end of Scarlett Ribbon Road along which I returned home.

Yesterday I went to the top of the hill and walked to the Protea Gardens gate. I returned along the same route as I had used to walk up the hill. When I looked at my Garmin recording for the walk, I noticed that I had climbed 10 meters.

The Garmin recording for the walk was made possible by Google’s GPS tracking ecosystem, anchored by Google Maps and Find My Device,. The system offers real-time location sharing, history tracking, and device recovery with high precision. [AI Overview] It is a remarkable sytem, one that would probably have made Galileo smile.
