The Amble

I think you're right there JtE. Turn left onto the track that heads towards Catherine's edge and then on to Slipper Lowe, instead of crossing straight over the track and heading into the tussocky bit which the long course does.

T'Ys your man, because I remember him saying he did the short course one year. Unfortunately you're only allowed to walk this one, no runners on the short course.

The Hebden

I've entered this LDWA event on 22nd Jan. Lovely route from Hebden Bridge. Doing the long course this year. Food on route is absolutely fabulous. Details here http://www.alangreenwood.biz/th2011/index.html . A 22 mile route and a 14 mile route, runners allowed on both.
