The idea behind this thread is not to show the exact location of where we each live, I don't want to invade people's privacy that way. It is to show the terrain, roads, and other features in our general area which may affect our car-free or car-light lives.


In Rowan's and my case right now ... we live in a very hilly area. This, unfortunately, hinders our desire to be more car-light than we are because those hills take some effort to negotiate. They are particularly difficult for me ... I'm not a hill climber. However, I admire all the cyclists in the area ... I suspect they are half mountain goat!


So ... show us some of the features of your area that aid or hinder your car-free or car-light endeavours.
