[Tagging] roundtrip

[Philip Barnes]

I enjoy linear walks from a to b as you can cover more ground, or at least more diverse ground, 2.pi.r and all that.

Generally they involve public transport for one of two parts but its still a round trip.

Bus from A to B, walk from B to C, train from C to A. If using trains you can even take your bike.
