    This is an adapted version of Walk 1 "Through the Vale" from "Fifty Week-end Walks Round Manchester" by Perigarth, first printed in 1951.

    I have modified the start and end to make sure the route can now be accessed by train at both ends. The walk now starts from Stockport train station (or the nearby bus station) and follows pedestrian walkways and attractive streets through the town centre. It ends in Hyde, passing three public transport terminals as a possible end point:
    - Hyde Central train station, which has frequent services to Manchester Piccadilly on Mondays to Saturdays
    - Hyde Bus Station, served by buses back to Stockport
    - Flowery Field Station, served by trains 7 days a week to Manchester Piccadilly.

    I have also moved the part through Brinnington further into the Tame Valley as the area is very built up and there is now the option of using the former train line as a walking route.

    This is one of the Perigarth routes that may in some ways have improved compared with the original because of the additional paths and tracks added in the Tame Valley, especially those that use former train lines.

    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.
