>> I think the AWTGS is a reasonable starting point for a trail/track
difficulty scale that's relevant to Australia.

above Grade 4, or whether there were things harder than Grade 5.

>> If the former, I'd think there would need to be a better way of breaking
down Grade 5. Otherwise, it will cover too wide a range of walks from the
slightly rough to the genuinely hair-raising

>> If the latter, then there's a gap at the harder end.

"push-chair/stroller" should be in the "elderly mother" category?!)

I think we should just stick with the AWTGS as it stands.  It seems to be
gaining widespread government support, and even if it is not perfect, it
seems like a standard that is going to stay with us.

 

I also don't see any reason why it needs to be compared to the SAC scale.
It is its own, self-contained Australian standard.
