Sorry to hear of your woes!
My solution to this problem is to stick to the roads. My local Sustrans Rangers have a 'thing' about avoiding motorcycle use on off road sections, to the point where they made it impossible to enter the off-road network except by lifting any kind of bike over/round a barrier*. I decided that I've paid for the roads all my life and I'll jolly well use them!
* Which is one of the reasons I stopped 'Rangering' for them. The other is the state of their off road sections, another their piss poor signage** and finally I got sick of everyone I met blaming me for Sustrans' failings!
** Yes having signed several sections of the NCN I know the issues, but still it's piss poor in places!
