I have been working hard to develop work in the UK so that I can justify spending more time there just to have some days hiking these well maintained trails.
There are so few trails in NS that are both remote and well maintained that its hard to get out. There is a lot of bushwacking even with established trails and some days I just want to go for a walk on a trail with the little ones without having to worry about accidentily getting of trail, or on the other end of the spectrum being run over by idiots on ATVs.
Those fucking loud, obnoxious, and destroying machines should be banned from public trails. The majority of the organizations don't actually maintain the trails and within a year or so they are rutty, muddy messes that are dangerous to walk on.
