John's Bummel
DC Browning said
A 'Bummel'," I explained, "I should describe as a journey, long or short, without an end; the only thing regulating it being the necessity of getting back within a given time to the point from which one started. Sometimes it is through busy streets, and sometimes through the fields and lanes; sometimes we can be spared for a few hours, and sometimes for a few days. But long or short, but here or there, our thoughts are ever on the running of the sand. We nod and smile to many as we pass; with some we stop and talk awhile; and with a few we walk a little way. We have been much interested, and often a little tired. But on the whole we have had a pleasant time, and are sorry when it's over."
Ha and life can sometimes be a bummer - a journey with no end and an unknown time limit and a whole host of experiences.
Well here is my friend John - no secret about who he is -

"If anyone asks, you can tell them this: the youtube bushytrips channel is a video diary that got out of hand, an idiosyncratic journey - a bummel, no less - of a well-meaning clot (me, that is) who stumbles and ambles along, backpacking his way through parts of South-East Asia and sharing the experience with the curious and the kind. You, that is...
