It's ok. Done it a fair few times Better to do midweek; most students do it weds. You need to start at 3pm, or there abouts to finish, and then you're in town around 10pm, which's just right for a club, etc. You should prob avoid trying it on a Saturday... What did you have in mind?
Was thinking of doing it on a Saturday... is that when it becomes "Commercialised"? Know the route starting at Woodies top side of Headingley then head down towards Leeds. Apparantly its "mowed art", l work near Headingley and a few peoples been saying its a good pub run.
RE: Was thinking of doing it on a Saturday... Not commercialised, just generally more expensive and busier. The pubs are generally close to full as you approach town with it being evening/night on Saturday and pubs won't have the same offers that they might have midweek
