The club publishes an approximate mileage and a grade for each walk. The grades are as follows:

E - Easy. Generally flat walks but may occasionally include a short gradual uphill section.

M - Moderate. This will include some undulations, which may occasionally be steep. Long walks may also attract M grading.

S - Strenuous. This is a serious walk, which will include some hills and possibly rough terrain. The walk may also involve some considerable total ascent over the day. Members not sure of their capabilities for this type of walk should contact both the club and the walk leader for more specific information.

These grades are subjective and relate to the severity of a normal club walk. They are given as a rough guide only. The club has very few strenuous walks and additional information will always be given in advance when available, such as total ascent on the day. The total ascent is the total amount of uphill walking on the whole of the route, and not the highest point reached.

Mileage is also approximate, as at the time the programme has been printed it is possible that some walks have not been checked, so there may be some late adjustments. The walk leaders will always be able to give more accurate information a fews days prior to the walk.

This must suit you.
I remember you saying last week,
you prefer a bit of give in the ground.
