Walks
Grade A Walks
These walks are for the well experienced with a high level of fitness required. Generally, they are not less than 8 hours duration and can often be 1500m ascent or more. Participants must be aged 18 years or over. We do these walks rarely.
Grade B Walks
These walks are generally 14 to 18km, 4 to 6 hours duration with a climb of over 600m. Participants must be aged 16 years or over and those under 18 years must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is also a Club Member. B walks tend to move at a faster pace and require a higher level of fitness than the C walks.
Our B walks generally start between 9am and 11am depending on the time of year.
Grade C Walks
These walks are generally 8-10km, up to 4 hours duration and up to a 500m climb. They span mountains to track. Participants under 16 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is also a Club Member.
Our C walks generally start between 10am and 1pm depending on the time of year.
C+ and Easy B walks are intermediate walks between a B and a C
What to bring
Walkers should have the following essential items:
- Strong walking boots, with good ankle support. You will not be allowed to walk without boots.
- A hooded waterproof coat. Waterproof trousers are also highly recommended.
- Suitable trousers. These must not be jeans, which once wet become very heavy and cold and do not dry out quickly enough.
- Plenty of warm clothing, including a jumper, gloves and a warm hat during the cooler months. Don’t underestimate how much cooler it can get at height and how quickly the weather can change in the mountains.
- Sufficient food and liquids appropriate to the grade/length of walk. We generally pause for lunch at a suitable spot around halfway through our walks.
- A comfortable rucksack.
Walkers are reminded that our activities can be dangerous and may result in personal injury. All members and non-members should be aware of and accept these risks.
