The expert's opinion

This often involves more rugged and uneven trails or off-trail terrain (such as grassy or peaty ground). The ascents and descents remain manageable: they require a slight effort but are within your comfort zone. A reasonable level of fitness is required for hill walking. You must be comfortable on uneven terrain.
