How we grade our trips
Grading our trips is a subjective exercise and it is impossible to describe the exact difficulty of any trip owing to many contributing factors. The benefit of the grading is to provide an overall indicator enabling one trip to be compared against another. The major factors taken into consideration when deciding upon the grade are: · Level of exertion and experience required for activity undertaken. · Level of comfort in terms of accommodation, travelling, available facilities, temperature range and likely weather conditions. · Remoteness of area, likely terrain, altitude and access to emergency services. For further details about all aspects of a specific trip please read our Trip Notes. For details of the grade of each itinerary, please refer to the trip details section of each trip. The grade is also shown on the regional contents pages.

Split Grades
Please note, in order to provide a more accurate grading system, where a trip falls between two grades we use an intermediate grade e.g. Leisurely/moderate, Moderate/challenging and Challenging/tough. These trips may be split between the two grades for any of the reasons listed in the 'How we grade our trips' section (right). As with all trips, you should refer to the Trip Notes for specific details.

For those looking for something even tougher, Exodus operate a number of Tough+ itineraries. These can be found at www.exodus.co.uk or in our Walking & Trekking brochure. Tough+ itineraries will involve all the elements of a Tough grade, plus additional factors of significant difficulty where specialist skills will be required.
