My journey regularly leads to the past (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yore

'the past' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'my journey regularly' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'my'+'journey'='myjourney'
The alternate letters of 'myjourney' are 'YORE'.

'leads to' is the link.

(Other definitions for yore that I've seen before include "Time long ago" , "Time long past" , "Times past" , "Old usage for formerly, as in days of. . ." , "Formerly, of long ago" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
