    Water leak in footwells

    Had the hosepipe out today round at mates for same reason to find where leak was coming from - mine was always dripping/pouring from where the bottom of dash meets the b'head....turns out it is the front vent seals, so easy fix there for that one :)

    roof rack awning

    Nope, not done it yet - but no reason it shouldn't work in all weathers....it seems the ones you buy that are self supporting, adopt a couple of swing out arms and the canopy is pulled out and fixed......not sure about these in the wind - you have quite a lever arm going on there with a big area...

    green lanes ? confused!!!

    If the lane is noted as a Byway and there are no TROs or other council restrictions on it, then the farmer is not allowed to lock the gate - it is a ROW, even if it goes through what might be deemed his land.....it is the council who would maintain the lane unless some arrangement was in place...

    Byway

    Paul, i don't think thas would be the case - The red waymarkers i noticed recently, were on a byway/boat that previously had yellow markers last time i drove it some 18 months ago. The newer red markers were pretty much identical to the (more common) yellow ones....no other signs or notices were...

    green lanes ? confused!!!

    Be VERY careful with those 'green dots' (1:25k OS) - these are invariably not open to motor vehicles or motor bikes....Even though they are stated as 'other ROWs' on OS map, it does follow it with a caviat. The 'Diamond' shape you refer to are National Trails - these follow all sorts of routes...

    A 'Byway' is a 'road' maintained by the local council and is open to ALL traffic.... BOAT - Byway Open to All Traffic Just keep eye out for any TRO (Traffic Regulation Order) signs. It seems there is no standard way-marking across the country - On my jaunts i have mostly seen the following...
