This route starts at The White House A58, along the Pennine Way, the Roman Road to Aiggin Stone. It continues on the Pennine Way over M62, turning past the Mast, following the trail parallel with M62. It descends & turns under the Rakewood Viaduct & to Hollingworth Caravan Park. From there it joins the track around the lake & back to Rakewood Road, where we left the 2nd car. It's a bit of a cheat, because it cuts out the uphill section from the lake to the Pennine Way.

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.
