Before submitting a walk, you should take some time to read the Walk Leaders guide from the Ramblers

Walk Summary

The remaining details below should be filled in as soon as the information is known. However, if you haven't reccied the walk yet, the remaining details can be provided at a later date prior to the walk.

Walk Difficulty

Estimated time:

This estimate does not include stopping time for lunch, breaks etc. The time is based on a variation of Naismith's rule of thumb : 4km/h, plus 1 minute for every 10m climbed, and should be used as a rough guide only.

Grade





Scramble Grade
Please note: Whilst we encourage group members to lead harder walks, it must be stressed that walks involving scrambling obviously carry a greater risk of injury. Group management skills on steep ground are therefore essential to minimise this risk. Suggested experience and techniques are listed alongside each scrambling grade below.

Grade 1 scrambles encompass routes which are always obvious and have varying levels of exposure. Grade 1 routes with minimal exposure include Wilderness Gully and Cribau in Snowdonia, but you'll still need to be aware of your entire group and be able to offer basic spotting assistance to those experiencing difficulty.

Still Grade 1 (easy), but routes are more exposed so you'll need to be confident you can move around the group during the scramble and be able to offer assistance (both physical and psychological) in a non-intrusive manner. Examples include Crib Goch, Tryfan North Face and Jack's Rake. The carrying of a confidence rope is recommended, but not essential.
