So for those who have never done it before, if you've not got enough time to do a full recce before the event I'd only go from Ilkley to the end and not bother with the first half at all.
Yes, I forgot to mention that the stretch from Rocky Valley to Burley CAN be tricky, especially in mist. People have been known to go horribly wrong. Muddy Retriever is right to draw attention to the Ilkley/Burley part of the second half.
