I’m a New Zealander living in the UK and I love it here. Access across farm land always amazes me. If you walk across private land in NZ you are likely to be confronted by an angry farmer with a gun!
I second that!!
I’m an Aussie living in the UK and I think you guys are incredibly lucky with your extensive and quality bridleway network.
Despite the size of Aus, there is very little riding in comparison, and most beautiful mountains are either on private land or in national park with forbidden access to mtb’s.
I think its wrong that you can own a mountain and forbid access to people but that is the case back home, whereas I bet every single mountain in Britain has a ROW going to it.
British mountain bikers live in mtb paradise and should appreciate it for what it is.
+1
NZ is the one country that really made me appreciate the UK for what we have.
