[Talk-GB] Can we tag the Imber roads better with access:conditional?

The Okehampton tank road (as I remember it from hiking round there) 
resembles the byways on Salisbury Plain rather than the (concrete) Imber 
road in both availability (open on all non-firing days, rather than a 
few fairly predictable days/year), gates or lack of,  and 
surface/condition - only just passable in a normal car with care.


The other day I went on from Imber to the byways - probably the only 
time a BMW has tucked in to let me overtake on a pushbike - but he was 
trying to protect the sump of his shiny 4-series.  He made it through 
eventually.
