    Not for the faint hearted, We will reach the summit of 4 hills, the first and also the tallest must be reached in just 45 minutes, 5 minutes rest to take on a little water. 30 minutes to our next summit for another 5 minute water break. The third hill is just another 40 minutes away where we will have our final 5 minute water break before setting off to our steepest climb. The final hill is the same one as the 1st but from a much steeper approach which much be conquered in just 20 minutes. To finish in 3 hours we must walk at the pace of marching British Armed Forces soldier without the weight, the pace is 4mph but will be gruelling taking into consideration the terrain.

    CALCULATE CALORIES

    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.
