The Group walks are graded to give some guide to the suitability to individuals and the kind of clothing and footwear required. Do bring sufficient drinks and food. Note that most walks have a ‘coffee’ stop in the morning: so bring a drink and a snack. All walks involve taking a packed lunch, unless otherwise stated.
A Easy Access. Walks for everyone, including people with conventional wheelchairs and buggies, using easy access paths. Comfortable shoes or trainers can be worn. Assistance may be needed to push wheelchairs on some sections: please enquire.
E Easy. Walks for anyone who does not have a mobility difficulty or a specific health problem or is seriously unfit. Suitable for buggies if they can be lifted over occasional obstructions. Comfortable shoes or trainers can be worn.
L Leisurely. Walks for reasonably fit people with at least a little country walking experience. May include unsurfaced rural paths. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing is recommended.
M Moderate. Walks for people with country walking experience and a good level of fitness. May include some steep paths and open country. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing is essential.
S Strenuous. Walks for experienced country walkers with an above average fitness level. May include hills and rough country. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing is essential. People in doubt about their fitness are advised to contact the organiser or leader in advance.
