Agreed. Whilst I love travelling I also love walking around and looking at stuff in various towns and cities, the last ALR I did was a couple of months back and I didn't want to miss out on the value of the ticket so I actually got to see quite a bit less than I had hoped.
A 7 in 10 or similar would be excellent, even if it cost another £100 or so.
Sorry, dragging that OT somewhat.
