Re: Walking back from the Carlton.

Last night I took Gilbert - Victoria Avenue (which was dodgy) - Burleigh Street - East Road - Mill Road (which was dodgy). Sturton St looks suitable; my map claims I can't get onto Occupation Road from the roundabout but I presume there's pedestrian access.

Or I could stop being a wuss.
Or get the bus.
Or learn to ride my bike better.

I'm getting much less blasé about personal safety than when I was an immortal teenager.

Yes, there's pedestrian access from the roundabout, as you can just about see here.

You can also cut the corner when going from Milton to Chesterton Road, and then take Hamilton Road, and then Montague Road, or Humberstone Road, both of which have pedestrian access to Elizabeth Way.

I think you took about the most zig-zaggy route possible from the Carlton to your place. :-)

> most zig-zaggy route possible

It doesn't look too bad on the map; but I took a straight line and made small deviations from the route, trying to approximate it. There might be a shorter route which takes a larger maximum deviation, but I don't know how to calculate that.

Oops, hadn't noticed the Burleigh Street bit, that makes it much better

/me gets out geometry toys.

Oh all right, my alternate route saves you a whole 100m. :-)
