I don't think it'd work in New Zealand, too many brainless idiots who would screw it up. That's why so many public tracks through private property get closed or access restricted.

Every time I go to the UK I am amazed at how accessible the country side is, so many public rights of way you can walk, cycle or ride your horse.
There's actually enough bridal ways you can ride a horse the full length of the UK without ridding on roads.

Whilst NZ has lots of public land, the countryside is not at all accessible compared to other countries, and basically means you need to drive somewhere.
I stayed at a place in rural Devon and walked through some amazing woodland and farmland, had a nice breakfast at a pub and walked home again.

I wish NZ didn't require you to drive everywhere, but if you tried to implement something similar here people would screw it up quickly.
