I'm much happier driving small roads rather than motorways. In fact the sat nav is set to disregard anything from a duel carriageway up. I'll quite happily take four or five days to get up to Brittany, when I have to, stopping off at small hotels en route. Sometimes I can drive for hours without seeing another car and, as others have said, this country has such amazing scenery that I just feel blessed to be able to see it.
I also hate airports and have only used small regional airfields for over 20 years. This year, however, I've decided to go to Canada and take the Canadian across country from Toronto to Vancouver. That means a departure from CdeG so I'm having to gen up what to expect. That part of the trip I'm not looking forward to.
