FAIR Valleys and Hills - Walks up to 8 miles (13km) and 2,000ft (600m) of ascent, over the whole day. Previous hill walking experience an advantage but not essential.

EASY Lakeside and Valleys – Walks up to 7 miles (11km) over the whole day. Mostly on good paths with a few short ascents and descents. Because we are in the valleys there is often the chance to curtail the end of the walk and visit a town or places of interest. No previous walking experience is necessary.
