    This route starts at the end of the train line from Glasgow, in Balloch on the shores of Loch Lomond. Once out of the town you pick up the quiet road that runs along Lomond's peaceful eastern shore, sharing it with hikers who are starting out on the West Highland Way. This road is an undulating bid dipper of tarmac that swoops along the waterside and amongst the forest with quintessentially Highland views in front of you. Not bad given it's doable after work in Glasgow if you have a long summer's evening. If you just want to get the highlights in then park up at Balmaha and head north to the end of the road from there. Also in Balmaha, the Oak Tree Inn will do you a hearty supper in cosy surroundings.

    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.
