Stage 2 has been shortened to 323 km, cutting out the section between Langholm and Lockerbie. There will be additional manned control in Northumberland.
Stage 3 is slightly longer at 271 km, with the final control at Ripon, rather than Thirsk. An additional manned control has been planned near Robin Hood's Bay.
Stage 4 is also longer, to include a stretch through the Ribble Valley and make up the distance lost in stage 2.
The rest is pretty much the same as this year.
