Status | Green

Walking conditions normal for open hillwalking. No big burns or barbed wire to cross, but may occasionally be rough going.

Status | Amber

Conditions will occasionally be challenging, such as crossing barbed wire fences or fording medium-sized burns.

Status | Red

Conditions will be very challenging, such as wider (6 feet +), deeper (18 inches +) burns or rivers and steep slopes in remote areas.

Many thanks to our funders
