    Woke to rain & poor visibility so opted for a start along the Eskdale. Left at 10.10am - dry, mild and improving visibility although cloud cover still around. Cloud cover at around 1600' (500m). Walked along the Eskdale to Lower Birker and then up the zig zag path (Peat Sled path) to Birker Force (although we couldn't see it). Cut across the crags until we found the path leading down to Penny Hill Farm. Across Doctors bridge and up the path by the Woolpack Inn to Eelbeck Tarn (by the correct route). Direct route home blocked by a herd of cows so took a longer route via Paddocks Wray Farm

    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.
