Around 20 kilometres of gravel paths, roadways, a large bush track and dirt tracks. Starting from our campground at Lake Okareka, following the lake's edge to Boyes Beach. From there we took the bush track to the edge of Blue Lake where we stopped for some coffee. We circumfered the lake, stopped at the look-out point to view Green Lake and finished our round with a swim in Blue Lake. From there the same bush track back and back to Lake Okareka for a detour on the Okareka Boardwalk. Lastly, the same road back to our campsite. Mostly well maintained tracks, but included some dirt paths, shallow water and tracking through the bush.

CALCULATE CALORIES

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.
