Information on rambles

Walk categories
The details above include various codes used to indicate the nature of the walk or ramble, these are a rough guide and depend partly on the area, terrain, amount of ascent and time of year.

Saturday Walks are usually = 7-10 miles,

A walks are usually = 13-17 miles,

B walks usually = 9-13 miles.

C walks are easier, or involve places of specific interest and are often suggestions rather than formally 'led' walks

....

B walks are supposed to be easier than their corresponding A walks.

In some cases the codes (L) or (C) are used, these indicate linear or circular, respectively.

• Do not bring dogs on club rambles.
