Farm track at Whins On some maps this is shown as a public road. But it is signed 'Unsuitable for motor vehicles', and I would certainly not have risked my own car along here! Bridleway, for horses and walkers, fine - but I suspect that otherwise you would need a 4x4 to get along here. (This track emerges one square to the west, at NY088166.)
