The walks grades are as follows:

Please note that walks grades can only give a broad indication of a walk. Contacting the walk leader is advisable if you are in any doubt. Leaders’ contact details are given in the walks programme.

• C (Easy) - Walks on reasonably level ground and at an easy pace.
• B (Moderate) – Walks which can include some hills at an easy to moderate pace.
• A (Strenuous) – Walks at a faster pace which often include harder hill climbs and rougher terrain.
• AHW (A Hill Walks) – Walks at a faster pace, 4000ft or more of ascent, sometimes on rougher/wilder terrain. Often more remote so less likely to have a pub stop.
• BHW (B Hill Walks) – Walks more strenuous than a standard B walk with elevation tackled at a slower pace than A hill walks.
• Evening Walks – In Summer months with longer daylight hours. Some in the city and some outside Bristol. Longer walks marked (A) are faster.
• WWW (Wessex Wanderer Railway Walks) – These are walks designed to take advantage of the railway links in the area. More details are available on their site www.wessexrailwaywalks.org.uk
