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.

I did some workings following the idea that if we were to travel at 2mph, with an extra hour per 1000 feet of elevation and include the planned 5 hour break, it would take us a total of 21 hours to go from start to finish. This would also mean if we were to leave at 6pm on Saturday, we would reach the camping spot at Blagdon Lake for 3am on Sunday and would get back for 3pm.
Also just thought that I would mention the weather forecast is saying it will rain from 4 - 10am on the Sunday so we should make sure our BASHER is well covered and we have the gear for travelling in the rain.
