Loyang (and a little bit of Pasir Ris)
Back in 2022 I went for a rather interesting walk in Loyang. This was before I had any idea of starting a blog about walking, and so I didn’t take very many photos. Nevertheless, it’s an interesting walk, and it seems a shame not to share it. So I’m trying a slightly different format for…

Beauty World, Toh Yi, Eng Kong, Cheng Soon, and environs
I’ll be honest: 2023 wasn’t a great year for walking for me. I’m not entirely sure why. I just didn’t go for anywhere near as many walks as I did previous years. New hobbies, new priorities, that take up time on the weekend, perhaps. Which is not to say I didn’t go walking at all.…
