Quick trip up Fairfield from Grasmere while my wife was in the garden centre (excellent Sunday roast but don't expect to ride far afterwards!) The climb up to Stone Arthur is very steep in places and Stone Arthur itself is not remarkable but it is a great view from everywhere on this route after the first km and there are great descents both from Fairfield to Grisedale Hause and from Seat Sandal to Grasmere. The climb to Seat Sandal is a portage, at least it is for me even if skirting round the flanks instead of the direct route up. This can be cut out by taking the bridleway down from Hause Gap via the Tongue which is also an enjoyable descent.

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.
