HAPPY NEW YEAR
Grading of the walks The club walks are graded as follows in accordance with their challenge. Grade 1 – Tough / good level of fitness required *Typically grade 1 is 18-24km (with substantial climbs (6 hours +) Grade 2 – Strenuous / suitable for most regular walkers but tougher than grade 3 (5 – 6 hours) 14-18km Grade 3 – Moderate / suitable for people if they have a reasonable level of general fitness ans some hill walking experience (4 – 5 hours). Please note though that these walks are mostly off tracks and are across rough terrain and steep hills. 10-14km Also although it is a grade 3 walk we are out for most of the day and would on a grade 3 walk not be back in car park until about 7ish or sometimes a bit later in the summer as we drop into a local er tavern for soft drinks! and maybe a bite to eat and chat so be warned just in case you have concert tickets or some such definite time to be back at.
