September challenge: the details

[kake]

OK! So I mentioned there would be another Flâneurs challenge, and here it is.

The instructions for the June challenge were relatively complicated, so I decided to do a simpler one this time.

To participate in the September challenge:

• Leave a top-level comment on this post, stating the name of the city/town you'll be doing your challenge in. (You can leave more than one comment if you want to walk in more than one place.)
• Wait for September, during which time hopefully other community members will reply to the comment as described below, giving you a selection of starting points for your walk.
• Once it's September, pick one of the starting points you've been given, do a walk of any length or type starting from that point, and report back.

To help others complete their September challenge:

• Choose one of the top-level comments on this post which contain the name of a town/city.
• Use an atlas, online map, etc, to select a starting point within that town/city. You can choose a point that you think will result in a pleasant walk, a challenging walk, a walk that's likely to produce a report that you'll find interesting, any criteria you like.
• Leave a comment specifying your chosen point, and optionally the criteria you used to choose it.

My obsession with industrial archaeology let me show you.... ;-)

Any of the following chimneys, either a walk-past or the best view of them (e.g. across water):

I'm fairly certain that last one is straight out my window right now. Across two harbour lanes and the M2, admittedly.

That sounds like an interesting skyline: flat, pointy, flat, pointy!

I once went to sleep a couple of storeys up in a converted harbourside warehouse. When I looked out of the window in the morning I was all WTF UNEXPECTED GIANT BUILDING?? Oh, cruise ship!
