soft-mobility routes
None of these are "genuine" English, but the meaning is perfectly clear I think.
Personally I had not previously encountered "soft mobility", only "soft transport", but it appears to be kosher. Something you can whizz along on on foot, bike, scooter, skates, or wheelchair.

The great thing about voies douces is that the absence of engine noise makes them entirely suitable for people with voix douces.

Zone A OR Category 1 routes
"The Disabled Ramblers use a grading description to give members some feeling for the degree of difficulty of the rambles organized or co-ordinated by the Company.
"The various rambles are described as either 'Easy' 'Moderate' or 'Challenging' and our current definitions, taken from our Health and Safety documents, are as follows :
There are four categories:
"Category:
1. (previously described as 'Easy')
2. (previously described as 'Moderate;)
3.
4. (categories 3 and 4 were previously described as 'Challenging')
"These definitions are for guidance only, and cannot be regarded as definitive. *They take into account path surfaces and general quality of the going and a view of the gradients and cambers likely to be encountered. Broadly these categories map on to the Zone definitions described in the Countryside Agency publication: 'By All Reasonable Means'. Category 1 maps to Zone A, Category 2 maps to Zone B, Category 3 maps to Zone C. Category 4 goes beyond the CA Zone guidance system."
