Blimey, you survived the soft cushions...

Where would I cycle in this situation?

With or without an OS map?

If you mean the republic, then maybe, I doubt that The country has been completely surveyed, since the British last did before the partition,
I am off to Eire this weekend using my Irish OS maps,published by Ordnance Survey Ireland, weirdly under Crown copyrights, so perhaps it's based on pre 1921 info?
It's not uncommon, I also sail, some of the charts haven't changed much going back centuries!

Want my smartphone apps sorted by colour (which I remember), not description, which I sometimes don't.

Here's the main problem - as there are NO motorways in the whole of Norfolk (and my home county of Suffolk for that matter) you wouldn't know which signs to look for to avoid them
Quiz question - which other counties don't have a motorway?
(Rutland being the obvious one)

Quite a few of the Welsh counties don't.
Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Powys, Flintshire, Denbighshire, Conway, Gwynedd and Angelsey

.
The Irish Mile, longer than the mile used in England, was used for distance in Ireland. Which is why Km was used on their distance signs. Even before they went to speed limits in the same unit of measurement.

If you think the OSI maps are using pre 1921 information, you're behind the times.
Once Northern Ireland was created, both parts of Ireland had their own offices, producing their own maps.

We do have the A82 though and they do motorway speeds quite regularly on much of that.

I've had to look this up and (bearing in mind that the results are from Wikipedia) they are...

They have missed 2 county areas local to me; North Ayrshire and Inverclyde are both motorway free.

Yeah, Wikipedia isn't always accurate.
Some of those Welsh counties don't actually exist any more - Brecknockshire and Montgomeryshire are both actually now part of Powys, Merionethshire is part of Gwynedd, neither of which are listed above, even though both should be. Cardiganshire is now called Ceredigion.
In fact that Wikishire is complete and utter rubbish so far as Wales is concerned. I think the last time the counties looked like that was the early 70's. By the time I went to University in Swansea, Glamorgan had already been split into three counties - South, Mid and West Glamorgan. Not sure about the rest, but the only current counties matching their map are Anglesey, Flintshire, Pembokeshire and Camargenshire. Denbighshire still exists, but part of what is shown as Denbighshire is now Conway.
