Note: These grades have been compiled as a guide only. It should be appreciated that no grading system can account for all eventualities. A solitary major hazard (e.g. one steep hill or a difficult junction) will not necessarily raise an otherwise ‘Easy’ route into a ‘Difficult’ one. If in doubt, get off and walk.
