They are all public roads, all you have to do is find out if its still legal to use them. But its getting harder to do so.
I will post some links to other pictures when I get them.

what does that mean in practice? that you have to drive 300 miles to the other side of the country to find a little used dirt road with some muds or are there all over the place?
I imagine you don't have much public lands like we do in the West of the US where you can go pretty much anywhere you want?

We have very little public land and you can only drive on it is there is a public right of way across it.
Within 50 miles of me there is enought trails to keep you going for weeks. I have been doing it for about 20 years and still find new ones. Some have not been used for 30-40 years. As for checking if they are legal to use, that it can be as easy as sending an email to the local (to that area) council. Every council has a ROW office.
If you look at this map,
Streetmap.co.uk- search results for 316534,331447
The dots mean its an ORPS (Other Route with Public Access) and 99 out of 100 times its legal to use. If you move the map around you will see lots of them in that area.
The other type is
Streetmap.co.uk- search results for 319946,330204
A BOAT (Byway Open to All Trafic).
We have both types all over England and Wales, Scotland is not the same as it is all private land.

ah, that does sound pretty good. Better than I feared. Good for you! Of course, you're in the Wild Far West of the country (where men are still Men)

I 've been to Wales. They talk funny.
Nice pics too. Do they have any laws about crossing waterways?
