    Leave the Silks on the Downs, turn left and then left again at the war memorial to head into the village of Ogbourne St Andrew. The road turns right and at the next junction turn left passing the church on your left. Walk along this quiet lane until it ends by a large barn. Turn left in front of the barn and follow this track to a solitary large tree where the tracks starts climbing up onto the downs. Follows this right up to the top where a convenient bench waits. From there bear slightly left and walk keeping the gallops on your right. You will pass a small graveyard that is worth exploring. This track will enter some trees and start heading downhill away form the gallops. Follow this all the way to the bottom where you will enter the small hamlet of Ogbourne Maizey. Carry on onto the road and you will reappear on the main road. Either turn left and walk along the road back to the Silks or preferably cross over the road and follow the track up, bearing left to reach the Railway Path. Turn left and walk along here until you reach some houses by a track heading back down to the main road. Follow this track down, cross over the main road and the pub is a few meters further along the road.

    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.
