Grading of Walks

All walks are graded according to 'equivalent distance' and terrain.

Equivalent distance is the horizontal distance, plus 1km for every 100m climbed. On weekend and extended walks this equivalent distance is likely to be walked each day.

Qualifying walks are those that can be counted in the prerequisites for Membership. All qualifying walks are given a two letter grading code. The first letter refers to the equivalent distance:
S = short (8-12km)
M = medium (13-20km)
L = long (over 20km)
The second letter refers to the terrain:
E = easy (mainly on tracks or open ground)
M = medium (may include some off-track walking)
R = rough (off-track and could include scrub, creek crossing, and rocks)
Non-qualifying walks or events are listed as:
NQ = non-qualifying (easy; less than 8km)
SCNQ = senior citizens non-qualifying (5km or less, no steep slopes and all ages welcome)
