Running NZ grandfather draws tourist crowds
Updated
The New Zealand city of Dunedin has an unusual new tourist attraction - a fitness mad grandfather.
Our New Zealand correspondent, Kerri Ritchie, reports Baldwin Street in Dunedin is listed in the Guiness Book of Records as the steepest street in the world.
Every day tourists watch local man Dave Kernahan run up and down it 30 times.
The 56 year-old began his ambtious exercise regime 11 years ago when he was made redundant.
But he says there's a good reason he didn't tackle the street on Tuesday.
"I've got to go out and get another pair of shoes," he said.
"The last pair i got only lasted about three weeks, I get them from the warehouse because they're cheap."
He admits he's obsessed with running and estimates he's climbed the street about 120,000 times.
