    Sweeping up past some of the most sublimely rugged and unusual mountain scenery in Britain, this ride starts and finishes in the cheerful harbour town of Portree, nestled cosily away from Atlantic storms on Skye's north east coast. The route heads north onto the Trotternish peninsula, passing dramatic waterfalls tumbling into the ocean and alongside the peculiar, Dali-esque rock formations of the Old Man of Storr and the Quairaing. It descends into Uig, gateway to the Outer Islands before returning past the drama of snatched glimpses of the brooding Cuillin mountains, past warming pubs and positively fiery whiskey distilleries.Edit

    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.
