It should be noted that
the above gradings are

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. |
