C Easy - Walks on reasonably level ground and at an easy pace.
B Moderate - Walks which may include some hills.
A Strenuous - Generally harder than B walks, and at a faster pace. May include harder hill climbs & rougher ground.
HW Hill walk - Walks at a faster pace; some up to 4000 ft or more ascent, and possibly wilder terrain. Less likely to have a pub stop.
There is considerable variation in walk difficulty, particularly in A & B walks.
Also different weather conditions creates further variations.
