How easy is the Walk

All the walks in this syllabus have now been graded for difficulty as follows:

Moderate
Walks for people with country walking experience and a good level of fitness. May include some steep paths and open country. A steady pace will be maintained; Many stiles may be encountered on the route. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential.

Strenuous
Walks for experienced country walkers with an above average fitness level. May include hills and rough country, and may be at a brisk pace. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential. People in doubt about their fitness are advised to contact the secretary in advance.

Please note:
The length of the walk does not affect the degree of difficulty. Members atempting the walk should judge their own ability to complete the walk by using three factors 1. The length of the walk. 2. The degree of difficulty and 3. Their own level of fittness.

All sporting and leisure activities have inherent hazzards associated with them and rambling is no exception. In spite of the safety of members always being the paramount concern, accidents will occasionally occur. It is important, therefore, when entering into the activity, each member appreciates that they have a responsibility to identify the hazards associated with the activity and take all reasonable steps to eliminate or minimise the potential for an accident to arise.
