I find walking or running a roughly circular route so much more satisfying than one that is there and back, although the latter can be much more predictable timewise. I often used that device when I was a consultant and trainer for a few years. I would run early in the morning from my hotel to the training venue and back, if it was near enough, to establish how long it would take to walk later. This served a similar purpose I guess, establishing my place in whichever city I found myself, and preparing me to meet a whole new bunch of people. It also usually gave me a useful anecdote to kick off my training or consultancy session with.
My bounds at the moment are the cemetery or the Scartho Circuit although I have just increased the distance slightly. I hope my new bounds are soon to become The Toll Bar Circuit. A nice off road one in the bounds of cemetery and Horsfield combined. All at Jeffing pace of course.
