As I enter another decade on this earth, I realize this is not necessarily about extreme sport, but finding ways to stay active, both physically and mentally. It needn\u2019t be a big deal \u2013 loops of the Bloomsbury streets on a work lunch break can be a very good thing.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago a friend and I went to Ruislip Manor on the Piccadilly Line, and walked mostly via the London Loop route to Stanmore. This walk is essentially a circuit of the periphery of London. A muddy section of forest (there had been a lot of rain the week before) and some messed up navigation (not helped by missing signage in a few places) made the first part of the walk a bit of an endurance exercise, but eventually we came to a good path and the correct route which took us to a view point. Given that we were never too far from housing estates, rail and tube stations, we saw very few people. At one point we passed by a lake surrounded by rhododendrons, yet we were only 50 metres or so from a main road. Beyond the viewpoint, there were houses around an unsurfaced road \u2013 yet this village-like scene was only a mile or so before Stanmore Broadway.<\/p>\n<p>For a selection walks in and around London see the following link:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tfl.gov.uk\/modes\/walking\/loop-walk\">https:\/\/tfl.gov.uk\/modes\/walking\/loop-walk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out about positive fitness!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":336,"featured_media":9359,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[17921,81990,81991,81989,64738],"class_list":["post-9355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorised","tag-london","tag-positive-fitness","tag-positive-health","tag-walking","tag-well-being","odd"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Positive health - Library, Archive &amp;
