High country access
Sir,—l remind Mr Michael Murchison of the recent debate surrounding the Clayton report and ensuing Crown land studies covering three provinces. The studies highlighted the desire of backcountry users, whether representing organisations or as individuals, to rationalise access across Crown lease land. The question of access has been with us for a long time and one can recall much antagonism and long-winded arguments as, for example, the Poronui Station case (Taupo). Surely it must have become clear by now to farmers that all we are asking for is well-defined legal access routes allowing us simply to move from road ends to other public lands. I wholeheartedly agree with Mr Murchison’s suggestion of direct discussion, but have to remain sceptical about their usefulness, considering past performance.— Yours, etc.,
K. SCHASCHING. March 27, 1985.
