[City Labyrinth] Wellington, NZ

Wellington really does look difficult. I like your design, but I guess the start could be a little more centered. Is it possible to make the lower left loop a bit wider?

Wow, the street layout of parts of Wellington look already like a fantastic design for a maze but unfortunately a maze isn't a labyrinth Wink

Much better! Looks really well-balanced now. You might consider starting from Cuba or Marion Street to give it a little extra twist in the centre, although that would disturb the carefully balanced distance between the different lines ...

We're planning on creating the Wellington Omphalabyrinth this weekend, during the Solstice (GMT - Sunday our time).

As it will only have a Omph Strength of 3.35, we're planning on doing a Secondary Labyrinth in Hastings in another couple of weeks - if Eli gives it the go ahead. It's about a 4-hour drive each way for us, so we'd like to do the best labyrinth there that we possibly can. This current design has an omph strength of 9.37.

Any feedback on how we can improve it would be much appreciated! Very Happy

The only alternative I could think about would be to include that huge green area marked "Town Belt" on Google Maps in your plans. Would it be possible to cross that thing, not just on the marked paths, but even outside them? It looks rather steep ...

Completed!

I've finally managed to get to a PC computer and get the data off the Trackstick - and here are the results:

Wellington Omphalabyrinth.kmz (Now a direct link!)

There are a couple of places there that the tracking went a bit off (pretty obvious jags out to the side) but it's pretty good on the whole.

It took us 2 1/2 hours to walk, as a group of eight. I'm working on the video at the moment, which is effectively a sped-up 15 minute Omphalabyrinth "Tour" of Wellington City. Unfortunately we're having stability problems with our home compy, so I'm not 100% sure when I'll be able to get it uploaded.

In the meantime, here is a pic of what we were up to 5 minutes after finishing the epic morning constitutional...

Congratulations! Have you already taken a look at the omphaputer? Our omphalos net is looking better and better.
