Walk Gradings
We offer "B" and "C" graded walks to Saturday destinations, and "A", "B" and "C" to Sunday destinations.
A general guide is
"C" = EASY (Ideal for beginners)
(Saturday 6 miles) (Sunday 7 miles): These walks are intended for beginners and those who want an
easier walk in the countryside. The route will include unsurfaced rural paths, some stiles to climb over and
possibly some up hill walking. Many "breather" stops will take place so you can have time to admire the
views. A lunch stop at the middle of the day will also be planned. Walking boots and warm, waterproof
clothing are recommended.
"B" = Moderate: (Saturday 8 miles) (Sunday 10 miles): These walks are intended for people with some
country walking experience and a reasonable level of fitness. They may include some steep paths and
open country. A steady pace will be maintained. Several stiles may be encountered on the route. Walking
boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential.
"A" = Hard (12 miles): These walks are intended for experienced walkers with a good level of fitness. They
may include hills and rough country, and may be at a brisk pace. Walking boots and warm, waterproof
clothing are essential.
People in doubt about their fitness are advised to speak to the walks leader in advance.
note: Please do not attempt a Higher grade of walk than you are confident of completing in
the time available, if in doubt discuss with the leader of the walk.
