” B “ | Strenuous walk, much rough terrain and steep ascents eg. Yorkshire peaks, High level Pennines (eg. Kinder Scout) and possibly long distances 10+ miles. Strong, experienced walkers with a good fitness level |
” C “ | Longish hill walks with some steep sections, may have several ascents with a total elevation gain between 750 – 2200 feet (230 – 670 m.), distances between 8 – 16 miles. A good level of fitness required. |
” D “ | Moderate hill walks, possibly one or two short sections which are steep, total elevation gain 500-1500 feet (150 – 450 m.), distances around 6 – 10 miles. Reasonable fitness levels required. |
” E “ | Undulating low level walks with no really steep inclines, elevation gain typically 250-800 feet (75 – 245 m.). Suitable for most walkers who want to do slightly longer walks, usually between 5-10 miles in length, without too many long hills or climbs. |
