From Cleveland Dam head west on Baden Powell (BP).
Leave BP to take a right up Millstream Rd/Craigmohr Dr at the Hydro substation, then stay left to ascend Kildonan Rd.
At the end of Kildonan road continue straight to the start of a trail (Kildonan trail).
Follow the trail, keeping left at the small clearing after 5 minutes.
Then stay left at the Y junction, ignore the first sharp left turn after 20 meters, and 20 meters later take a left at the T junction with Ballantree trail - There is a wooden post with the trail name here and some 'private property' signs above.
Follow Ballantree (mostly up at the beginning then rolling) for about 15-20 minutes until it intersects at a Y junction with the Brother's Creek Fire Access road - There's a signpost here indicating the trail names.
Go right and follow the wide fire access dirt road a long way up until you reach the (newly rebuilt in 2022) metal Brother's Creek upper bridge.
Cross the bridge then head left/south and down on the trail running along Brother's Creek's west bank.
Continue running down this technical trail until a first and - 20 meters later - a second junction with the Crossover trail, to take a left/east turn, cross the middle Brother's Creek bridge, and head east and down on Crossover trail 5-10 minutes to its junction with the Incline Railway trail.
Take right/south and down the Incline Railway trail for 300 meters to its T junction with the BP trail, and take a left/east to follow BP.
Continue following BP all the way back down to Cleveland Dam.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
