Well I made the distance to be approximately 26 miles when I did this walk. There were four of us; I was wearing a pair of walking boots totally unsuited to the task (in that they started to leak during the first half-hour); we ran out of drinks half a mile from the finish. It was great.
The walk is desribed quite simply thus: "Leave Longnor and walk by the side of the Manifold and Hamps rivers (as near as footpaths allow, anyway) to Ilam; head over to the River Dove and walk back to Longnor".
OS Map Outdoor Leisure 24 (or equivalent) is really really useful for this walk. Very briefly:
Tiring, but jolly good if the weather is nice. Allow plenty of time though....
