Walks Grades
For safety and so that everyone knows what they are getting themselves into, all walks are graded. Everytime a walk is advertised it will be stated whether it is an A, B or C walk.
- A walks: 6-8 miles, little climbing. (For example, a short coastal hike on the Gower)
- B walks: 8-12 miles, some climbs. (For example, all but the longest hikes in the Breacon Beacons)
- C walks: 12-14 miles and more, ofter with several climbs or one hard climb. (For example, a good days hiking in Snowdonia)
If you are unsure of your ability, it is advisable to do a "A" walk before a "B" walk and a "B" walk before a "C" walk.
In any case, the walks marked with a * cannot be done before you have complete at least a "B" walk.
