Didn't fancy walking by the a road for a mile presumably with no pavement. Or going all the way back. Thankfully gate wasn't locked, just latched, so I went through anyway! Got out the far end, saw a sign saying it was shut for six months, took a picture, timed it to the second as two lorries pulled up behind me on the back Lane, so I said hi and walked off the short way to the car park. They weren't to know I have just trespassed down the entire route. Phew!
