1. Large parts of our local hills are privately owned. There have
been instances of tracks being destroyed after being found on private
land as it's a liability nightmare.
2, Most of the rest is controlled by the Department of Conservation,
they tend to consider things like visual impact (the hills are pretty
barren so any new tracks will be highly visible)
3. People building tracks willy-nilly tend to build tracks that are
dangerous or unmaintainable due to erosion.
4. The terrain is actually quite difficult to build on with large
rocks and steep slopes.
When I think about it, it seems that we're lucky to have any tracks at
all. There are some good tracks in a couple of places just outside
the city but I tend not to use them as I have the hills on my back
doorstep.
Cheers,
Dave
