AIUI, yes it is. If you pick the bike up and carry it then it's OK.

Go on then, I'll bite :-) So why is it illegal,


Because that's what the law says.
What do you mean by 'why'? Why was the law passed? or Which law is it that is relevant? 

Which law suggests wheeling a bike on the pavement is illegal?

and so why does the highway code suggest doing it in similar
circumstances? http://www.highwaycode.gov.uk/03.htm#62 

Because that rule was apparently written by an imbecile... <snip>

It's a really dumb piece of advice. Ignore it.

I'm not interested in the logic behind it; I'm questioning why the HC would recommend doing something illegal. If it is genuinely illegal, then your response explains it.
