Walk Schedule Details

Each walk provides a link to Google Maps (click on the address above the details). This link will display a map of the walk’s starting point. The walk details provide a description of the starting point with a Post Code (PC), an OS map reference (e.g. SK1234 4321), or What 3 Words (W3W or ///).
Google Maps, Apple Maps, or a suitable vehicle system on a smartphone, tablet, computer, or other device can be utilized with the Post Code or What 3 Words to provide directions and estimated travel time from the user’s current location to the walk’s starting point. It is important to note that Post Codes, particularly in rural areas, can be inaccurate.

We use an abbreviated walk grade, i.e. Mod, a full description of the walk grades are given in the ‘Guidance for Members & Walk Leaders’

The walk distance is in miles.

Guidance on assessing degree of difficulty (for leaders and walkers)

The Club publishes fuller walks' details than most walking clubs and where possible an itinerary is given, which gives members an idea of the area and terrain of each walk. For a given walk there are two aspects of difficulty to consider, the strenuosity (grade) of the walk, and its distance. It is important to note that these are quoted separately in our schedule of walks. We use the abbreviated grade descriptions given below to denote

Walk Grades:

The grade of the walk and its distance are quoted separately in the schedule of walks.

Easy: Up to 7 miles, mainly level paths or tracks, minimal uphill sections. Gentle pace, frequent stops possible.

Moderate: 5-10 miles, Good paths or tracks possibly with rough terrain in places but no narrow sections, some hills but not steep or sustained. Faster pace with regular rests.

Harder: 7-12 miles, Established paths but often including rough terrain with steep and/or sustained uphill & downhill sections requiring effort & fitness. Brisk pace required, less frequent rests.

Demanding: 7+ miles, Walks with significant ascent & descent, often steep sections and possibly over rough & rocky terrain with narrow sections and significant exposure. Potential for difficult & changeable weather conditions. Brisk steady pace essential, only suitable for experienced and fit walkers. Maximum group size of 6 suggested to ensure safety.

Walks of any grade are likely to include stiles but the club does not include a stile count in walk details. If you have any queries about the route or doubts about joining a walk, please discuss with the Walk Leader.
