At our club we use a grading system common to many bushwalking clubs in NSW to indicate the expected level of difficulty of a walk. See: https://www.southcoastbushwalkers.org.au/what-we-do/walk-grading
Grading information can assist you to decide if the walk is suitable for your level of fitness and experience. However, grading is subjective and must only be taken as a guide, so always ask the walk leader for advice if you are unsure about whether the walk is suitable for you.
The walk leader has full discretion in determining if members or introductory members are accepted for any walk.
See the SCBW website , "What to bring" page under "Member Information" for guidelines on what you'll need to bring. https://www.southcoastbushwalkers.org.au/member-information/what-to-bring
The Club’s ethos seeks to undertake more challenging and remote walking with a preference for Grade 4-6 walks but we also include some "Recreational Walks" (RW) which cover Grades 1-3.
