Tour provider's comments

In short, this is a 2+ rating that indicates a walk that’s slightly more challenging than easy, but still not too difficult, making it a good choice for those with basic experience and fitness.

A walk rating of 2+ on a scale from 1 to 5 typically indicates that the walk or hike is of moderate difficulty, but slightly easier than a full 3 rating. Here’s a breakdown of what this might mean:

Terrain: The terrain may be uneven, with some inclines or obstacles, but generally manageable for most people with moderate fitness. There could be a mix of flat and mildly challenging sections.
Distance: The distance is not overly long but might require more time than an easy walk. This could be somewhere between 3 to 5 miles (5-8 km), though it varies depending on the setting.
Elevation gain: There could be some uphill or downhill sections, but nothing too steep or sustained. The elevation changes would be noticeable but not strenuous.
Skill level: It would be suitable for beginners looking to challenge themselves slightly, or for intermediate walkers looking for a more relaxed outing.
