hi wee koppit, got challenged by touring israelies in N.Z. on the time factor. they had completed the nrth &sth island in ten days, i,d taken ten weeks and still need to go back for the bits i missed.each to their own but ticking of the top sights is not for me either but it is done.
just been in wester ross (scotland) for 5days and only covered 100miles ,so many good sights that travelling far in 1 day is difficult, as yet another great camping spot appears.
