Nearly forgot - this piece by Wendell Berry is really interesting. He talks about the transition from fast life to slow break (camping/hiking) being too quick when we drive everywhere. Our brains can't process the sudden and complete change so soon. If we walk we have a much better transition. Walking's brilliant innit!

I have heard this described as 'complete brain rest': sometimes only staring out the window will do. I like the thought of a walk to click back into place afterwards too.
