If I'm following you, it seems that _the travelling itself_ isn't important, but that the characters _have traveled_ is advancing the plot. You can cut out most of the actual journeying, showing the quest in what the characters do when they stop moving. You can have characters refer to the travelling enough to make it clear how far they traveled -- gods damn it, my feet hurt. As a bonus, if you have on-the-road scenes after setting up this pattern, they'll come across as fresh and different.
