re "use by off road vehicles"

i don't want to get all uppity, but any "mechanically powered" (ie motorbike or 4x4 but also tractors) user is actually has to be "road legal", and technically these byways (BOATs) are still roads. theses users hence aren't actually off roaders but people who use (predominately but not necessarily) untarmaced roads. i know its a very very subtle difference but it important. to contrast i can't just turn up on a motocross bike and ride down a BOAT - that would be illegal as i would lack road tax, insurance, etc, etc

hope that clears that up - don't know what politically correct phrase you would use instead but something else please --160.5.247.213 01:53, 28 November 2005 (UTC) (im a lurker)[reply]
