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 distance walk and a 1,2 or 3 difficulty walk.

Distance

• A - Less than 8 miles (under 12.5km)
• B - 8 - 12 miles (12.5 - 19km)
• C - Longer than 12 miles (more than 19km)

Approximate height gain

• 1 - Less than 200 metres
• 2 - 200-500 metres
• 3 - Greater than 500 metres

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.
