This route unashamedly takes obscure ways up and down in order to bag Birkhouse Moor, Birks and Ariston Crag. Not an easy climb up to Birkhouse Moor then a good path across to Swirral Edge, portage up to Helvellyn and easy ride along the ridge. Avoiding the steep steps from Dollywaggon I prefer to ride round the flank of Willie Wife Moor to Grisedale Tarn, steep climb up to Fairfield and another onto St Sunday Crag. Branch off the main path down to the summit of Birks then follow the spur (no path) down to Ariston Crag, avoiding the crags of both before dropping down to Patterdale.

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.
