I walked it south to north (I was walking home towards Stockport) a few years ago over two days and enjoyed it. I was familiar with a few sections beforehand and didn't find navigation too hard, as I recall, but I expect there'll be some tricky bits (round Lyme Park, Bollington, Kerridge Hill).
Recently the footbridge over Harrop Brook NE of Bollington has been declared 'closed' as unsafe, though I've crossed it a couple of times and I can't see the problem.
Also, thinking of Lyme Park, the gates might be closed if you're passing through too early/too late, in which case you'd have to use the easterly bypass route by Bow Stones.
Oh and the path by the conduit above the River Dane north of Rushton Spencer is always a mudfest!
