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.

Ark Towers West (Minato-ku, Roppongi 1-chome): http://maps.google.com/maps?q=35.666229,139.7403&ll=35.666135,139.741255&spn=0.003574,0.006968&sll=53.553813,9.991586&sspn=0.326664,0.51887&num=1&vpsrc=6&z=18

The first Tokyo address that comes to my mind, because an acquaintance of mine stayed there for a while :)

Alternatively, Roppongi 1-chome station, which is right next door.
