    From Cleveland Dam head West on Baden Powell trail up through the British Properties to Millstream Rd/Craigmohr Dr.
    Leave BP here and take a right up the road on Craigmohr Rd., keeping left and up onto Kildonan Rd.
    Up the hill on Kildonan and straight onto the trail that starts at the end of that road.
    Follow the trail, keeping left at the small clearing after a few minutes. Stay left at the first Y junction, 30 meters later ignore a sharp left turn to a trail, and 20 meters later - at a T junction - take a left to Ballantree trail; there is a wooden post here with the trail name and red/white "private property" signs high up on trees.
    Follow Ballantree (mostly up at the beginning then rolling) for about 15 minutes until it intersects at a Y junction with the Brother's Creek Fire Access dirt road. There's a signpost here indicating the trail names.
    Go right and up following the wide Fire Access dirt road for about 10 minutes until you come to a large and newly cut log bench and another signpost that indicates the Crossover Trail.
    Go left here and follow the Crossover Trail, traversing westward.
    After ~7 minutes continue straight along Crossover thru a 4-way junction with the Railway trail, and after ~15 minutes you'll cross an old wooden bridge over Brother's Creek - This is the 'middle bridge'.
    As you emerge up after crossing the bridge you'll come to a T junction with the Brother's Creek trail - Go left and down along that trail.
    After 5-10 minutes of downhill, you'll end up at the Baden Powell trail (signposted).
    Take a sharp left onto Baden Powell for less than 1 minute - Before it descends steeply down to the lower Brother's Creek bridge (decommissioned and unsafe) - and by orange plastic fencing and large danger/no-entry signs - take a right turn down an obvious trail, and follow it down along the western bank of Brother's Creek to the paved Millstream road - on your run down this trail do not veer right along a couple of other off-shooting trails, you should always be near the creek!
    Take a left and follow the paved Millstream Road for 1.2 km to the Hydro sub-station at Millstream Rd/Craigmohr Dr. and Baden Powell - Take a right here and follow Baden Powell trail down thru British Properties all the way back to Cleveland Dam.

    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.
