Letter to the Editor Southland Express posted: 21 Aug 2013
Good on the Express for highlighting the need for Cycle Trails in the Southland Area...
As a Member of the Local Trails Trust I should point out that There is absolutely no need to convert any walking tracks to
Cycle ways! There are miles of designated areas that just need a modest amount of Infrastructure to make them desirable
For cycling..
For the mere price of just one trophy Home we could have a World Class Trail linking Te Anau to Manapouri through a
Beautiful Forest Landscape along River and Lake Shores that supports just as much Bird life as other part of the National Park.
The forgotten Percy Pass Road and the Borland Road only need a bit of linking digger work / shelters and they can allow cyclists a Fiordland Experience second to none,
Indeed there has been a local industry waiting to use this National Asset since the 1980s. Again, only the price of a modest house in Auckland.
Of Course The Absolute Cheery on the top of them all would be a Hollyford Haast Paper Road Cycleway
But for some Reason when our new Prime Minister said he was handing out Money For Cycle Trails the Department of Conservation forgot to put their hand up.
