***Please use the grading calculator to obtain the correct grade for an activity. This is available on the website. You have to log in and then go to 'Information for members' and 'Walk Grading Calculator'. If you have any queries about how to use it, or if it won't run for any reason, or you're having difficulties obtaining appropriate distance or height statistics, please contact Nick Collins on 0414 510 355 or nick_collins_2000@yahoo.com Nick reminds us that individual ascents and descents of less than 30m (which is the height of a 10 storey building) do not count towards total ascents and descents to be used. Bushwalkers consider these to be mere 'undulations'!
