Walk Grades

Grading walks is very difficult because everyone’s perception of what is an easy or hard walk is always going to be different. Some people just look at the mileage, but the terrain and speed of the walk are also very important. To help you decide on your capabilities the Walks Co-ordinators and walk leaders will attempt to grade the walk using all three criteria. It is possible that the leader has not walked the route prior to publication of the walk schedule and is unable to grade the walk at this stage. If you require a walk grading before deciding to attempt a walk and there are no details on the programme, please contact the walk leader for  information.

• Grade S

(Strenuous) A challenging walk compared to others of that length within the programme

• Grade H

(Hard) A taxing walk compared to others of that length within the programme

• Grade M

(Moderate) A moderated walk compared to others of that length within the programme

• Grade E

(Easy) An easy walk compared to others of that length within the programme
