Grades of Walks

The grading of the walks is a little subjective, as an easy walk for one person could be purgatory for another. The chart below gives a general indication of the level of exertion required for each walk.

Length of walk Type of walk
1 - A short walk (up to 4 miles) A - Generally very flat
2 - A medium walk (4 - 8 miles) B - Involves modest uphill walking
3 - A long walk (over 8 miles) C - Involves more rugged terrain and some steep climbs

For example, a walk graded 1-B indicates a walk of up to 4 miles that involves modest uphill walking.
