Use a walking group's club page

A walking group's club page works like a running club's, with Next walk instead of Next run. Each walk shows a few things walkers need.

Grades and where to meet

• Grade: each walk can be Easy, Leisurely, Moderate or Strenuous, or a kind of walk such as Hill walk or Evening walk. Filter by it on the Upcoming tab.
• Meeting point: walks often meet somewhere different each time, such as a car park. It shows on Next walk, on Upcoming and on the route, and goes into your calendar if you've connected one.
• Start time: a walk can have its own start time, such as 9am for a long day.

How long it takes

On a route, Walking time is the distance at the group's usual pace (4 km/h unless the group sets another), plus a minute for every 10 m of climb (Naismith's rule), plus a fifth for stops.

Grid reference

In Great Britain, Start shows the Ordnance Survey grid reference of where the walk starts, such as TQ 288 108, for OS maps and apps.

Print a route sheet

On a route, tap Print sheet to print it on one A4 page: a map with contours and footpaths, the date, time, meeting point and grade, the distance, climb, walking time and grid reference, and the climb profile. Use your browser's print options to save it as a PDF instead.

Notes

• Send a walk to your watch as for a run: see Send a route to your watch. It goes as a hiking course.
• Head torch and Take water reminders work for walks too. See Get head torch and take water reminders.
