The Difficulty Of The Walking Holiday

The walks are graded using the symbols below. Over the years we have found that it is simply not possible to accurately reflect level of difficulty because each person reacts differently to distances and terrain. So the symbols give an immediate impression only and are to be treated as such; each walk listed under the walks section gives  daily distances (and height gain/loss where known.)
