blimey, Edale to finish is approx 40 Miles, so a long day indeed!
there aren't many big improvements to the recommended route, other than after Walker Barn you can use roads to drop you into Bollington via the western side of the Kerridge ridge
bits to pay particular attention to (bearing in mind it will be dark) are Earl Sterndale to Cumberland Cottage, and the finer points of getting through Bollington - you need to drop onto the Middlewood Way (best choice) or the Macc Canal (2nd choice) - the streets are surprisingly complicated/uncooperative!
