This double bend is entered incorrectly. See FMS USRN: 5700565 or OS 1:25000 for the correct route but from the ford it continues E to just inside the tree line, then turns to the S just inside the trees, following the edge of the tree line S and then veering SE to rejoin the mapped route. Verified by me in person and my GPS track. The rest of the road to the E appears to be spot on but my GPS track indicates that the road is very slightly too far N in the western section, although I was forced away from the hedge by overhanging trees. It should be immediately S of the hedge line. This is a road BTW, legal for all motor traffic. However, it needs putting on in a way that won't have sat navs sending people down it in cars and delivery vans! It is just grass and stone so completely unsuitable for normal traffic. I can supply the GPS track and a photo showing the track running straight through the ford and through the wood to the far side if required.

At this point there is a locked gate because the 'roads' to NW and SW are both Footpaths and not legal for motor traffic. My open map based sat nav routed me through this illegal and impassable route today. Please correct the permissions on these 2 stretches of lane to correct this.

Back Lane is a Restricted Byway so not legal for through motor traffic. Please adjust the permissions as my open map based sat nav tried to route me up it today. Luckily I noticed the sign and understood what it meant and avoided breaking the law. North Croft (the E end of the same lane) is not a RB and is legal for motor traffic, as is the Byway Open To All Traffic heading N (brown dot/dash line). Where that meets Back Lane/North Croft is where the RB ends.

ACCESS TO HAY, ST BREOCK, WADEBRIDGE
Classification: Neither M, A, B or C
Responsibility: Maintainable at public expense, Cornwall
Street State: Open
This road is completely missing from the map, see FindMyStreet for the route. It's a full width stony farm track in practice, but a legal road and it would be possible to drive a car up it in dry weather. The access road up to the pin is also legal and is all single width tarmac. The offshoots are not legal for public use - see the legal bit via the USRN.

ACCESS TO HAYCROCK, ST BREOCK, WADEBRIDGE
Classification: Neither M, A, B or C
Responsibility: Maintainable at public expense, Cornwall
Street State: Open
The final section of this street is completely missing, which is most irritating for users trying to create a GPX. As a street it's legal for all traffic but you'd need a VERY good 4WD or a dirt bike to get up it. See the USRN plot on FindMyStreet for the route.

This access road that you just got as a dotted line is the same road as the comment just to the S from this pin running N. It's an unclassified road, full tarmac single width with passing places in gateways, etc. Where the dotted line continues SW, the dotted line is probably right as that is not tarmac and is not a road. Haycrock Farm is at this point.

This route through is private with no PROW but currently seems to allow route planning apps to route along it in preference to the more direct bridleway to the S. The owners have had to put up extensive signage to stop access.
