    Ice Cream Farm to The Red Lion in Pickmere, which is a cracking pub, food is fast and they do small portions if wanted.
    This route takes in numerous off road tracks ( short cuts) but they are good, even after a lot of heavy rain.
    Particularly nice bit is along the river Weaver on a very good light gravel track, apart from the daft rotary cattle gates x 3 or 4. There are a couple of other short cuts as well, one through the good looking Vale Royal golf club.
    There is a long climb on way back, that tests the legs, it never seems to end as it is over a few miles. Great interesting route with lovely village scenes and very quiet lanes. It is probably the best NE routes I have done.
    I also have a clockwise version of it stopping at a farm shop cafe after 37 miles near Davenham. Where as this anti-clockwise route stops at the Red lion after 27 miles- ish.
    NOTE: this route has some plotting issues that need editing to get accurate plot, where Plotaroute has gone straight.

    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.
