    This one is specifically for westerly / NW winds & hilly hence, uses the Greenway with fantastic protection from the headwind. The Greenway enables me to get 5 miles west, then, apart from the section from Saltney ferry to Sandycroft ( just north of Hawarden, in order for me to get the uphill lane in to Hawarden and avoid main road)
    It Is then, at worse, a cross wind but mostly a tail wind all the way home, as again Carden Park provides protection, although uphill. Also takes me right by Porkies house.
    There lanes from the Gallery onwards are cracking.
    There a loads of cafe options with Chocks Away being 1st at 20 miles then The farm shop on Hawarden road. ( slight detour down the hill a bit) or The Gallery cafe in Hawarden, then come back 100 yards to take the hill up to the lovely crossing at the top of the Warren. However there is Jamoley’s at 26 miles, the route goes past it.
    This route is flat, bar the bit around Hawarden and from Wetreins lane. Can’t call it flat as total is 2000’

    I have another similar route and also a CER version from Alison’s I think.

    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.
