I'm quite envious of your "hammocking wild in and around ancient downland, woodland and valleys". A lovely way of keeping one's head together and a good perspective on the world.
Reminded me of my student days, walking for hundreds of miles in France either sleeping wild in the country or using the wonderful network of the Gite d'Etapes along the trail. A while back I watched a great little film on Netflix called "The Way" with Martin Sheen, which although quite melancholy, brought that sense of freedom back to me.
