What kind of paths will I find?
Each walk card has a letter and number (for example C) in the top right hand corner. It describes the surface and slope of the most difficult part of the route in dry weather. There will be easier sections.
Surface (in dry weather):
- A - Smooth (tarmac, paving, concrete, etc.)
- B - Quite smooth (short grass, compacted earth, compacted stone, etc.)
- C - Uneven (worn grass, loose stone, some ruts and tree roots, etc.)
- D - Rough (long grass, soft earth, sand or gravel, severe ruts & tree roots, etc.)
Slope:
- 1 - Gentle (up to 1:20)
- 2 - Quite gentle (up to 1:16)
- 3 - Fairly steep (up to 1:12)
- 4 - Steep (up to 1:8)
- 5 - Very steep (over 1:8)
