Hosting of PDFs was disabled on the Wiki some time ago.  This is why the topos for specific crags are hosted within the Vimeo group.

Why its redirecting you I've no idea, but the most likely explanation is that "someone" (quite possibly a bot) changed the links on the Wiki to point there since the Wiki is indicating that they are links to external sites rather than files hosted by the Wiki itself.

I've heard there is a print guide out for that area now though.

Which are you after Tim? I might have it on my hard drive somewhere, though most of those PDFs are years old and pretty out of date, ie. won't have info on all the problems.

I've also linked to several downloads on my website. They are on this page http://www.lancashirebouldering.com/links/ - with the exception of the 7&8's list, they should all be working.
