We would like to draw your attention to the following guidelines and club rules that will hopefully make your walk as safe and enjoyable as possible.
Walk grades
All walks in our calendar are graded according to the following scale:
- Easy:
- usually a low level walk, normally of 6-8 miles
- Moderate:
- may involve ascents of up to 2500ft but at a moderate pace
- Hard:
- requires a good level of fitness, may involve a number of peaks
- V.hard:
- requires a high level of fitness and a head for heights. May involve scrambling steep ground or narrow ridges.
- What to bring
- Members join in club outings at their own risk and are required to bring adequate gear to meet adverse weather conditions that may be encountered in the mountain environment. The following is a list of the recommended gear:
- suitable boots
- windproof/waterproof clothing (NO DENIMS)
- gloves
- hat
- enough food and drink for the day
- change of clothing
- bivi bag
- personal first aid kit
- a suitable rucksack with waterproof liner.
Members are requested to observe the mountain code at all times.
