How do I know if a walk is too challenging for me?
None of these walks are especially challenging. Every walk has been graded to give you an idea of what level of walker it is suited to. For a full explanation of what those gradings mean and how they have been worked out, click here.
Top tips for walkers
- Please make sure you bring a water bottle with you to stay hydrated.
- The morning of the walk, make sure you have checked the weather forecast for the day. Dress for the weather we are expecting.
- Wear proper walking boots rather than trainers, wellies or shoes. They give you better ankle support, they grip the terrain better and in most cases they keep your feet dry.
- Even if the weather forecast suggests a damp or over cast day, bring a high factor sunscreen. At this time of year, even a short burst of sunshine is enough to burn.
- If you bring dogs, please keep them on a lead and under control
- If you want to bring a pushchair go for a green walk, or if you do go for an orange one, double check if I have said in the walker level paragraph if the walk you want to go on is suitable. Also, only bring pushchairs that are designed for challenging terrain.
- Please obey the country code at all times. Here is a link to refresh your memory.
