Walk grading

• Easy – a mainly level, comfortably paced walk, up to about 3 or 4 miles, with no stiles.

• Moderate – a more challenging, half day walk, up to about 7 or 8 miles, faster pace, with steps, steeper gradients and possibly stiles.

• Demanding - usually an all day walk, longer and more demanding still, faster pace, requiring greater stamina; possibly more, steeper gradients. We would expect participants to be able to keep up with the pace set by the leader; it is a walk rather than an amble.
