Neil & All,
I was using this kind of passing roads quite often....usually the distance
was 3 meters in a soil. It was not affecting 160m but on 80m I noticed
a difference , probably a capcitance to a ground was significant.
In my main QTH where I have a lot of houses and tracks around 
I'm using thin wire 0,7 mm and a support in 50 % are just trees 3-7m high.
Its easy to throw a reel of such wire over a tree.
