    For wetter conditions - from bus stop at Newton Park Rd, walk into that road and down to junction with Grange Cross Road where you turn left. Walk to Column Rd and turn left and down to Caldy roundabout then turn right and down Caldy Rd.
    In better weather, walk up into Storeton and Caldy Woods at end of Grange Cross Rd (straight across rd) and over ridge and take one of several routes towards WK)
    Stay on Caldy Rd all the way to Sandy Lane and take a left and descend to Wirral Way (WW) which is generally fine in all but the wettest weather. Turn right and walk to end of WW (towards WK) then turn left and join Grange Rd near to WK centre.
    Plenty of cafes for refreshment and the WK Tap or The WRO if you fancy a beer.
    Return home via bus or train from WK

    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.
