• In the Description column, include any special features or difficulties of the walk
• special terrain including off-track, creek crossings,
• large/steep ascents and descents or exposure
• for pack walks, a combination of grades/descriptions or the highest grade of walk on the trip
• a pace description e.g. 'slow pace', 'brisk pace' or 'experienced walkers only' if you want that
• if the walk is exploratory (this can only be in higher grades)
• limits on numbers eg in national parks, wilderness areas or for logistical reasons
• map or book reference
• joint walk details
• any other special variations eg “Stops to look at views, flowers”
  
• In the Meeting column, put meeting details only if you do not need walkers (apart from Prospectives) to contact you first. Otherwise put 'Contact leader'.
  You could include notes such as "Club cars needed for car shuffle", 'Will meet train' etc
  
• In the Leader column, put your preferred method of contact first or mark it as preferred.
