Personally I'd take OS as evidence of the existence of a road as well. 
Obviously it would be good to have travelled it as OSL isn't the most 
accurate for location & direction, but at least we know it's there.

It was concluded in a previous discussion that OS didn't put 'easter 
eggs' into their data.

Do you have any examples of roads not being on the ground?

+1 for Tim's work.
