A circular walk around Dovestone and Yeoman Hey reservoirs. At least that was the plan, but advised that the footpath on the far side of Yeoman Hey was closed so had to return to the Yeoman Hey dam wall.

A gentle start from the car park at Dovestone Reservoir past the sailing club and following the track towards Yeoman Hey Reservoir dam wall. An option at this point is to cross the dam wall and return to the car park via the track along the opposite bank of the reservoir. A distance of around 2.77 miles. A longer version is to follow the track alongside Yeoman Hey Reservoir to the dam wall of Greenfield Reservoir, returning along the opposite banks of Yeoman Hey and Dovestone Reservoirs back to the car park.

The walk is along mainly good tracks but the longer walk does go along a more uneven and possibly boggy track towards Greenfield Reservoir so good footware is essential.

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.
