Anyone have POI for tom-tom with the start of some lanes, I have the one with fords.
I suspect that each lane from POI would have to me individually evaluated and checked that it’s still legal; however the POI would come in useful for some further research.

On the Landranger or Explorer OS maps BOATS (Byways Open to All Traffic) are shown as "++++++++" on Landranger and "+++++++++" on Explorer. However, it is very advisable to check with you local Rights of Way officer to check that the lanes are still legal to drive and that there are no TRO's in force (Temporary Restriction Order) in place. Get caught driving a lane that has been downgraded or has a TRO and you will get a section 59, 2 of them in a year and your lovely fronty will be reduced to a small cube 
Thanks for the heads up on that last lane in Wales Drift

Join Glass and get access to the Wayfinder site so you can download the Wayfinder overlays and get access to lane info in the Wayfinder database.
Soon to be without a Frontera after 10 years of owning one

This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been
Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered )
Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.
