    A short e-bike friendly route on quiet roads, gravel trails and shared use paths from NCN7 Loch and Glens (North) to the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park Visitor Centre at Balmaha. Stunning views over Loch Lomond with options to visit the National Park Visitor Centre, Tom Weir Statue and Oak Tree Inn, Balmaha.
    From Drymen Square go past The Clachan and up Old Gartmore Road past the primary school. Carry on up a long steady climb to Garadbhan car park. Turn left onto the gravel forest road (following the WHW) for around 3 km before dropping down to Milton of Buchanan to join the B837 for the last stretch to Balmaha.

    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.
