Our Walk Grades
We use four grades to describe how challenging a walk will be. New members should start with C or D walks and work up.
Strenuous walk, sometimes with scrambling over steep exposed rocks, on open moorland at a fast pace for up to 10 hours.
Tough walk, sometimes with scrambling over steep ground, on open moorland at a good pace for up to 6 hours.
Moderate walk on open moorland over less steep ground at a moderate pace for up to 4 hours.
Easy walk, mainly on relatively flat roads or paths, at an easy pace for up to 2 hours.
