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.
