The walk grading system helps members decide whether a particular activity is suitable for them. What can be an easy walk for one person may be quite strenuous for another, so you need to have a good understanding of your own capability.
MINIMUM REQUREMENT FOR NEW MEMBERS: New members not from another Bushwalking Club must first participate in an introductory walk, held on the Saturday following the club meeting, prior to participating in any other club activities which are rated higher than 3 in difficulty.
