From memory they thought that the gate at the other end may have been locked after they went in, so they decided to rationalise the gate to allow an easy passage. Surely land managers would drive down the track to make sure that nobody is trapped.
Apparently the road was officially closed, but the gate was open because they were doing roadworks (strange time of year for it, I would have thought). And yes, I found it weird that no-one drove in for a quick check that it was clear before locking the gate at the end of the day.
