There are still places where it’s possible to drive for an hour or so and never see another car. The freedom that gives us, and the pleasure of finding a beautiful spot to stop in, have a picnic and maybe walk even further into the countryside, is something not to be sniffed at.
Even better, there are still places where it's possible to walk for 8 hours or so and never see a car at all (or even another person). Definitely where I want to have my picnic! :)

Fair enough, but driving is a pleasurable experience for many - which is the point I was trying to make...

Trouble is, you need a car to get to them ;)
