Grading of Walks

1,200 to 2,000 feet.
Distance travelled 7 to
12 miles. Usually
including several miles
without a trail.

or undulating ground.

1,200
feet. Distance
travelled 7 to 11 miles.
Usually including short
sections without a
trail.
C+
Easy to Moderate
Requires average
fitness. Usually over
undulating ground and
can include short uphill
sections
over rough
ground. Height climbed
200 to 600 feet.
Distance covered 7 to 10
miles.
C Easy Mainly level
ground usually on paths,
tracks or minor roads.
Height climbed not more
than 200 feet. Distance
travelled 7 to 12 miles.
It should be noted that
the above gradings are
intended as a rough
guide. People have
different ideas of
degree of difficulty and
the weather, ground
conditions, etc on the
day can have a
considerable effect on
the walk. For further
information, contact the
Leader on any walk.
It should also be noted
that a walk might be
changed, due perhaps to
adverse weather or
ground conditions, or
any other good reason.
Walkers must be properly
equipped and competent# for the grade of walk.
Please note that walking
boots are essential on
all walks.
When on a walk and a
club member requires to
"hang back" that person
must inform the back
marker and upon return
to the walk report back
to the back marker. This
is essential to avoid
any member being left
behind. |
