heard off another site stanage is closed

I've had a email through from Rights of Way to say that Stanage Edge has been made limited access from yesterday. It now has a width restriction of 1.5 metres, so bikes only.
It will be in place until 10/1/13, and barriers will be put in.
Apparently the closure is due to damage to the retaining wall.

Obviously it goes without saying, but please don't attempt to drive it.

More info

Please see below some news from Derbyshire County Council Rights of Way department which they have asked us to pass on to you all. The formal notices of closure are attached with some additional information.

From Wednesday 11 July there will be limited access to the byway open to all traffic (BOAT) route at Long Causeway, Stanage Edge.
The width of the route is being restricted by Derbyshire County Council to prevent further damage to a retaining wall.
Vehicles over 1.5 metres wide will not be able to use the route, between Dennis Knoll in Derbyshire and Redmires Reservoirs in Sheffield, until 10 January 2013.
Barriers will be erected at each end of the route to control access.
The council will be carrying out a survey to assess the condition of the wall.
