This is an adapted version of Walk 2 '"An Urban Walk" from "Fifty Week-end Walks Round Manchester" by Perigarth, first printed in 1951.

I have adapted this route from the original as follows:

- I have reversed the direction of the route so that the built-up section is right at the start and the rest of the route is mainly green and 'off-road'.
- I have replaced the tramp along the very busy A523 (Macclesfield) Road with the quieter Chester Road followed by a short section in the Ladybrook Valley
- I have also modified the route through Bramhall to include new paths through an area that is now built-up with housing and to utilise nicer paths from Bramhall to Carrs Wood

Overall, the walk still works very well in linking up different green areas through the Stockport suburbs.

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.
