Retro Post - Today's Walk - Local Area

Today I thought I'd try something different, and end up back at home again. Recent walks have seen me go 6-10km from home and then taxi back, usually after a beer or three! Today I am having AFD, so wanted to avoid the temptation. The best way to do that is to end up back at home. So I figured I'd do the loop of our local Jalan Beringin, which is close to the house, see map below.

It should have only been about 6.5km, but I decided to get tricky and instead of doing the full loop, I headed to 7-11 to get a drink about half-way through. Then, heading back out of the central area where 7-11 is, took a wrong turn and ended up going in a circle for a while. Oh well, all the more steps towards my fitness goals I say!

The last couple of weeks since I have had bugger all to do, I have been trying to do some decent walks. Today I figured I'd head to PJ, and the Out Of Africa bar that is apparently cricket friendly. Not that it mattered today, with no cricket to speak of on, but it was a worthy destination! 10.5km and it took me just on 2 hours.




OaA itself was an interesting place. It is part of a sports complex and overlooks and olympic sized pool. It was reasonable enough, and certainly the sausage roll I had for lunch was spectacular! Should get 20,000 steps overall today so am very happy with that.

YouTube - Revisited

So it has been almost five years since I did my first YT post, reflecting on what I was watching at the time. Then, in mid-2020, YT as my ma...
