Normally you have to carry a map & compass, & the route is not marked. The route is usually published beforehand, either on the website or posted to you when you enter. Some events define the route you must follow, others just specify the checkpoints you must visit. Often there are maps on the walls at registration with the recommended or obligatory route marked on them, so you can check you've understood the route correctly. I can't comment on the Elsecar Skelter as I've not done it.
