Excuse to use the tram and leave the bike at home. Walk takes you by retail park but then onto canal. Use old road to skirt Heriot Watt and then join the small road to Donkey Lane and onto Muirwoods Road. Most of this is not beside busy roads so not bad at all. A stop at Woods Deli on Lanark Road is well worth doing. From there you could take a bus home or continue through Colinton Dell which has many paths apart from the main cycle route on the line of the old railway. the last part into town is bac along canal. Also a cafe and toilets at Water of Leith visitor centre so again handy for families. Plenty of bus routes back into town if the walk needs to be shortened.

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.
