Set modest goals and then it's a lot easier to over achieve.

I now only shoot and recover meat for family and close friends.
Purely for my own satisfaction and not to impress anyone else.
I often hunt with rifles that are more than twice my age and get satisfaction from the challenge this imposes.

I had noted that the Kaweka's had become steeper and taller than they were.

Grandpamac: that's because the tectonic plates are moving slowly, hence the hills are getting higher and steeper, and the kilometres are getting longer.
Well, that's how I cope with the situation. (Fee Knicks, bite your bloody tongue!)
