Thanks for all your responses.
I seem to have raised a delicate topic.
I would like to add that I have done a lot of work in locating some existing routes after many nights on the net. Most of them are on viewranger and I have even paid for the OS maps to see what are actual lanes. I don't want to pick up a route which may be created by someone which prefers more road than dirt.
What I like to, especially as I am driving 4hrs each way, is to look up the route on Google Earth. This gives a great overview of the route and terrain to ensure I don't come across a river I'm likely not to cross.
The only problem is I need a GPX file to import. Viewranger does not seem to allow this if someone has shared it and Viewranger is not great to use on a bike as a "Sat Nav". You can load the maps into Google Maps which is great to use compared to viewranger.
I have attached the two routes I have found a like. If is ask nicely can someone have a quick look and see if it can be improved? Obviously I wish to do least road miles as possible.

I've had a quick look at the both routes.
Monks Trod has a TRO on it and should therefore be out of bounds.
There are also several other tracks, that to my knowledge do not have vehicle rights. The road across the Sennybridge firing rage is certainly closed at times and would need to be checked out.
We would all rather not ride on tarmac but it does not mean that we can ride on any track we like.
Strata Florida is a long track surrounded by tarmac. My feeling is to just suck it up, being tarmac it is soon covered.
Good luck
