    Park on the Willows Pub Car Park, set off past the old Whitbreads Shad Depot to the motorway bridge. Follow the footpath throught to Shad then back up and out at Shad School. Over the crossing towards the Hospital but join the cut through path back onto the main road. Head towards the Observatory pub but cut left through the field onto the Lower Reservoir. Run anti clockwise towards the Upper Res, carry on the path around the Lower Res until there's an opening. Feel free to do some stone skimming, carry on along the path until you come to a dog waste bin, there you will see to your right the stone wall with some steps built in, climb over the wall. Follow the overgrown paths round the back of DW Sports and the Upper Res. You'll come out on the Upper Res service road, follow that until you arrive back at the Willows.

    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.
