In the 1960s as a teenager I once rode my old Vespa motor scooter from Melbourne to Woods Point then over Matlock and down into Walhalla where we camped for the night. In those days it was a narrow knarly 4DW track that clung to the cliff face but doable even on 8" wheels. I've since ridden this route a few times also on a Vespa. After you ride across the Thompson Dam wall and climb out of the valley, this route picks up the best of the track from the north that descends into Walhalla. Have fun but watch out for 4WD vehicles coming at you on the wrong side of the road.

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.
