There was a really useful article either on gamasutra or gamedev regarding 
texturing of landscapes. Number one tip is to blend - use a large texture 
that gives a change over a large area and then the smaller texture like the 
one you're currently using to give some finer detail. Makes the repetition of 
the finer detail texture much less apparent.
