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.
