Mmmh. I did it today and then over to Draughton - 26 miles, 2600 feet, it being the 26th of course - on my skinny road tyres and I thought it as gravelly as it usually is.

What has changed is that while the land slip is still there with signs galore saying Road Closed the bollards that previously did close the road have been moved to the side of the section where the road is slipping away so actually the road is passable.

Which is probably why I met six vehicles in the three miles or so! It did occur to me that the Duke of Devonshire's staff would not wish to take the long way round and so sooner or later the bollards would be moved - and so they have been.
