_________________________________________________
The A hillwalks are typically 10-15km in length with 800-1500m accumulated ascent and usually last 5-7 hours. Only walkers with sufficient experience (i.e. several B walks or equivalent) are allowed to participate, as a good level of stamina is required and the terrain can be challenging. It is club policy not to allow visitors on A hillwalks.
All hillwalkers are advised to look at the Safety Guidelines and Gear List pages; proper clothing and boots are mandatory.
The A hillwalk organiser is Stefan Lux.
