Some people want to do lots of miles in a day, other prefer to take a slower pace, take time to smell the flowers.

Both are excellent choices and up to you. And nothing says you can't do both. You are young and will have lots and lots of tours ahead of you. Maybe you do one tour where you take your time to see the sites, talk to folks along the way. Then the next tour you set a goal to be in a certain place in a specific amount of time with lots of miles per day. There are lots of choices.

And be prepared. Do you training and do that overnight I mentioned. An overnight really helps to shake out the buts of what to take and what to not take. How to pack etc.
This is great advise, as are all of the other posts. Thank you for all your positive and helpful posts back, this forum is awesome!
I am thinking I may be doing a 60 mile ride to see my friend in Brighton so that should be good fun and I will see how I get on with that.

Thanks guys!!
