 Grade B Walks on roads or tracks and popular, well-tramped, easy-to-follow paths, for example Walk 2.

 Grade C Walks on less-frequented mountain footpaths, for example Walk 3.

 Grade D More demanding day-walks, on remote terrain, for example Walk 6, as well as any of the backpacking routes, as these are mini-expeditions that need careful planning. Confidence and route-finding experience are essential.

 Grade E Very remote and rugged mountain routes.

Note ‘Remote’ means that although final destinations – villages or coastlines – may be in sight in the distance, the underfoot is rocky or steep, so that getting there safely will take a lot of time and effort.

CALCULATING WALKING TIME

The walking times listed are calculated using this simple formula.

Allow the following times for every km (approximately) along the ground:

 15mins on roads

 20mins on easy-to-follow rough footpaths

 30mins on very demanding rocky terrain

plus 15mins per 100m of height gained.
