All up this image is the outcome of several days work - although in the end it only took about 3 hours to create. The rest of the time was spent trying to work out the best way to take the photos, and the best software use to create the final image.
In the end Autopano Pro turned out to give the best results, and was by far the fastest, with processing time of less than an hour (other similar tools were taking over 2 hours for an image with only 37 photos!)
