The Grand Tour of Northumberland is a long distance trail that is over 500 miles long, set out in over 50 sections. It snakes around Northumberland fitting in as many points of interest as possible (by no means every place of interest). It was designed as a section hike by me, the Northern Wayfarer.
Section 1 starts at the birth place of George Stephenson in Wylam, it covers the railway museum, Wylam railway bridge (one of the oldest through-arch bridges in the world), West Wylam Colliery, Prudhoe Castle, Ovingham church, Eltringham colliery, the birth place of Thomas Bewick, Bywell castle and the churches of Bywell where the walk finishes.

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.
