Includes Fleam Dyke, built by the Saxons from the 5th to 7th century AD, to hold back the Romans. Also the wind farm, built to hold back global warming. Watch out carefully for when to stop following the top of the dyke, and start walking along the right hand side of it, otherwise you'll get stuck in brambles by the A11, trying to find the onward path from the back of the parking area.

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.
