Additional advice
Walk grades are provided as a general guide only.
If you're unsure of your fitness level, try a short and easy walk first. It's much better to find a walk a little too slow and easy than to make yourself miserable and exhausted.
Leaders may refuse to accept participants who in their opinion are inadequately equipped or unfit.
Bad weather can make a walk more challenging, especially in winter, with slippery uneven surfaces. Always check the forecast before setting out.
