    This route is similar to route 3 taking the walker from the Car Park to the Sand Craigs and return. The walk is 3.5 miles or 5.7 Km and should take about 75 minutes.
    Start at the car park, continue on to Harbour Street until you come to the bridge. Crossing the bridge takes you on to Cruden sands, about half way to Whinnyfold over the dunes St. Olaf’s Well can been seen but this is on the perimeter of the golf course beside the 17th Tee and great care should be taken if you wish to access the golf course. Continuing along the sand you will come to the Sand Craigs where Bram Stoker spent many hours sitting beside the cairn of stones contemplating – the area is accessible at low tide. Return by the same route.

    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.
