This is a Gear 2 walk and is just under 5 miles with a couple of short-ish steep ramps and some longer gentler inclines. The walk is along hard tracks and lovely turf. It is a great fitness improver for those who want to walk a longer distance at a faster pace with an established technique. 

Gear 1 - A nice, easy and natural pace that you can do for extended periods with recovery periods where appropriate. Short hills might be introduced. 

Gear 2 - A faster pace gained through technique. There will be less recovery time.
