the standard way to do that?

I can use <C-O> to eventually land up where I was
but I need to backtrack all the motion commands I
did in the netrw buffer.
You can use the jumplist to get a listing of locations where you've been:

:ju

The left hand column is a count that you can use to precede <c-o>.
For example:

 jump line  col file/line
   3      1    0 some text
   2     70    0 another line
   1  1154   23 end.

and  3<c-o> will jump to entry #3.
