On an OS map you're looking for the paths like this: + - + - + -
If doing it 100% by the book you'd be best to check with your local council who'll have a "right of way officer" who'll be able to tell you about where's open and where restriction are currently in place. However its normally quite clear if a byway is closed by the council as they have a habit of putting signs and bollards at the start of the paths as a clue that you're not allowed down them. Despite the large amounts of footpaths and bridleways, walkers and horse riders also like using byways so you kinda need to have it in the back of your mind round the next corner there could be some genius on their horse which is scared of traffic.
If you get caught somewhere you're not meant to be then first time you'll be given a warning and the second time they can impound your vehicle. Moral of the story is don't get caught.
Getting some OS maps and marking all the byways with green highlighter is useful since maps have the big advantage that they don't need batteries. |

Slightly unweildy to use but has a download called Overlay Exporter which can be used to export all the BOATS into Memory Map which is very useful.
Like Silky says, I think joining the TRF will be the thing to do. |

Got Memory Map and a Garmin Foretrex 201 and it's feckin good
Still getting to grips with it but got led around a few new lanes the other day and logged it all in my Garmin.
Not only can you see where you went but you can then follow the route on your Garmin again.
