Our Walk Rating system explained

  • Back-up vehicle: You don’t have to hike. Get a ride from our back-up vehicle when you need it.
  • Great lunches. Enjoy a leisurely lunch break featuring local specialties.

Which Level?

Walking is fun and you’ll enjoy it most if you choose the right Walk for your ability and interest.

  • Be honest – don’t overextend yourself.
  • If in doubt, go down a level.
  • Ask our advice. We can help you assess your fitness.

Walk Level 1

Easy

An Easy Walk involves flat surfaces with good footing and mild inclines. In the morning you’ll walk three to four miles at a gentle pace. After lunch you’ll walk about the same distance, averaging six to eight miles a day and about four to five hours walking time.

Walk Level 2

Easy/Moderate

Halfway between Easy and Moderate, Level 2 walks are eight to ten miles a day with five to six hours of walking in total. You’ll walk on a variety of surfaces and encounter a few moderate hills. Might include English stiles.

Walk Level 3

Moderate

Stepping up the pace a little now, we’re looking at the same kind of miles and hours as a Level 2, but on more difficult terrain. Expect moderate hills and some uneven surfaces.

Walk Level 4

Moderate/Energetic

Cover eight to 16 miles a day, walking for five to six hours over varying terrain, with ascents and descents. You’ll need to be fit to relish this workout.

Walk Level 5

Energetic

Walk on a variety of surfaces, with frequent ascents and descents, some of them steep. You’ll hike five to eight miles each morning and afternoon for a total of ten to 16 miles each day. The pace is fairly brisk. You’ll need a good level of fitness.
