GM Ringway 12 Norden - Bury 2024
Highlights include:
- Views over the chain of reservoirs in the Naden valley.
- Knowle Hill, topped by its wind farm, with panoramic views that sometimes extend all the way to Snowdonia
- Deeply Vale, a remote valley featuring waterfalls and evocative industrial remains
- Birtle village with its pretty cottages, church and two fine pubs
- Chesham Woods, a lovely area of mixed woodland on the edge of Bury
- Burrs Country Park, featuring dramatic sculptures, riverside paths and passing steam trains.
Note that the first 3.5 miles of the route (from Norden to Owd Betts Inn) have been remapped in November 2023. This is because of a closed path west of Greenbooth Reservoir and in order to reflect the best route on the ground more accurately.
At least temporarily, we have revised the route just east of the M66 motorway to avoid a very overgrown and boggy section. The new route is shown on this map.
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.
