Walk Grades

Some of the routes outlined in the brochure are all purpose routes so you may encounter vehicles, cyclists or horse riders.With sometimes difficult terrain underfoot, and often rapidly changing weather conditions, it is essential you wear sturdy footwear and appropriate autumn clothing when out walking, especially on the C, D and E grade walks.This is for your own safety as well as comfort.

GRADE

Easy - mainly flat walking on paths with good surfaces. No stiles, few, if any, steps.
GRADE
B
Fairly easy - gentle walking on paths with uneven surfaces. Gentle or short inclines. Stiles or steps to be expected.
GRADE
C
Moderate - varying landscape or shoreline. Marked inclines, stiles or steps to be expected. Suitable for anyone who is reasonably active.
GRADE

Walks may be cancelled if the weather conditions are unsuitable. In the event of unsuitable weather, please contact the festival office / tourist office for information on events.
