During our Sabbatical, Martin and I are hoping to go camping every four weeks' or so. Around 6 weeks ago we were at Ambury Park, and a few weeks after that it was our church camp. Last week we were off again, this time to a new-to-us regional park called Waitawa. All the extra exercise I've been doing during the Sabbatical has really improved my fitness, and it felt realistic to try for a campsite 35km away from the nearest train station :-)

Sabbatical thoughts 2/3 of the way through
This whole Sabbatical has been more difficult than I expected. One key thing it's shown me is how small my capacity is. After removing literally everything from my life that felt like work and that seemed in any sense optional, I freed up really very little time at all. Because, after essentials like eating and showering and dressing are done, 7 hours per day (my current capacity) doesn't stretch to a lot else.
