Guide To Grading Of Walks
All of our walks are graded by the use of 3 indicators. Distance, Terrain and Fitness.
Distance
S - short, under 10 km
M - medium, 10-15 km
L - long, 15-20 km
X - extra-long, more than 20 km per day
Terrain
1 to 3 - Graded or open terrain, no scrub
4 to 6 - Minor Scrub, Rainforest, rock hopping, scrambling
7 to 9 - Thick scrub, rock scrambling, using hands or ropes
Fitness
1 to 3 - Easy, suitable for beginners
4 to 6 - Medium, reasonable fitness required
7 to 9 - Hard, strenuous fit walkers only
Eg a walk of 12 km return through sparse scrub with some rock hopping on the return and requiring reasonable fitness could be graded as M45
