    Walking the River Chess following Chess Valley Walk from Chesham to Rickmansworth stations. Travelling by Metropolitan Line from Central London. Section from M25 to Rickmansworth was not great - very spooky, dark paths, literally boxed in with high fences. Might do well to turn off before M25 and instead take any of a number of footpaths down to Chorleywood station, also on the Metropolitan Line. Amersham station is another staging point but there is quite a way to go by road before hitting the trail. Some really lovely spots, following the clear and free-flowing Chess as it grows wider and deeper towards its meeting point with the River Colne. Approaching Rickmansworth Station from the south, there is a good Thai cafe - on right before going under railway bridge.

    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.
