Byway?

[Invicta Moto]

Without getting the OS maps out, is there any easy way of telling what sort of byway is indicated when you see the sign...

If you can expand on what you need to find out a little, I might be able to help.

Probably a BOAT, although generally the signs are Red.

Which Council area?

Berkshire are pretty good, sign wise, and have got the Restricted Byway signs where appropriate.

OS Maps are usually accurate, but as you may know are not "Definitive"

Kent. I had a rideout around my area and sad to say I hadn't ever noticed the green "byway" signs before. Mostly to the north of Hythe, Lympne and towards Ashford on the high ground above the Marsh.

The two byways I saw yesterday are marked on the OS map (taken off the net) and are Old London Road and the byway that connects Hythe Road with the yellow Roman Road.

This might be useful then ?

Excellent. That's why I asked the q. as I had no idea this existed. The two byways are marked in brown and are open to motor vehicles.

I'll wait until it is drier before I have a go!

Thanks for all the help.

I've yet to come across a Byway that wasn't a legitimate & legal vehicular Right Of Way

I've yet to come across any track/road/path etc that you wouldn't ride up

Hi Clive

Please could you tell me where I can find information, tracks or downloadable GPS routes for green lanes or byways in the Berkshire area. I moved in to Bracknell 5 months ago and would like to know where to go and play with my GS.

Many thanks

Roberto

It wasn't me, no one saw me do it, you can't prove anything

You will need to compare any tracks with a OS Map - tracks previously known as "RUPPs" are now Restricted Byways and may not be used.

Hi Clive

Wow! what an exhaustive work you have been doing very good documented and detailed
I'm going to be checking more regularly the off road and Thames Valley section to try to join in another of your rides.

Many thanks
