Survey of the listing in my area



I decided to map it visually with shading rather than taking tallys or marking it with x's as i think it better highlights trouble spots and how the area feels. It might have been an even better idea to shade the dark spots, than the light spots...

I noticed that i feel more altert in the trouble spots i.e. the bad lighting at the end of my road coupled with a small alleyway means i speed up past there. It gives a good visual description of the place. What i want to do is take a blood pressure monitor out with me and see how it registers at different places. I believe i know someone with a watch that maps the GPS location of a run with your heart rate, how fast you were in certain places, so if i can borrow it that would be fantastic...!!
