One
Walk at a relaxed pace, often spending time at places of interest en-route. Walking experience isn’t necessary as distances are quite short and gradients generally easy.
Two
Good paths but walks are a bit longer. Some walks, particularly in mountain areas, may have sections over rough or steeper terrain.
Three
Walks follow well-defined paths, though often in hilly or upland areas, or along rugged coastal footpaths. These may be rough or steep in sections and will require reasonable fitness.
Four
Long distances in remote countryside and on rough terrain. You can expect some sustained ascents and descents; there may be occasional sections of scree and steep ground.
Five
Good fitness and stamina required. Expect rocky terrain with sustained ascents and descents. Walks may include high summits and ridges.
Six
Our most challenging walks where high levels of fitness and stamina are required. Walks will be long and strenuous in difficult mountain terrain.
