Strenuous walks require fitness and stamina to cope with several steep climbs and/or cover a good distance at a steady pace.
Energetic walks generally involve two steep climbs, but they will require determined application.
Moderate walks will seldom have steep climbs, but if they do, the climb will be taken at a relaxed pace.
Easy walks are generally flat or nearly so and are taken at a leisurely pace.
Suitable for wheelchair users or for those with walking difficulties
