Quite a bit of portage on this route - not only Striding Edge but up the side of it rather than along from Birkhouse Moor. Absolutely mad but mostly quiet ascent on an otherwise busy day. Along the bridleway up Grisedale then cut off-piste up into Nethermost Cove then climb up to the middle of Striding Edge between the crags at each end. It is hard going because of the gradient but easy going underfoot until Striding Edge itself with the climb up to Helvellyn. Great ride along Helvellyn ridge over Whiteside and Raise to Sticks Pass with an interesting singletrack descent via the copper mines to Glenridding hostel, cross the bridge and the footpath to Mires Beck, over the shoulder and back to Grisedale. Not one to be repeated but a good day out.

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.
