    Walk from the Continental down Riverside and Broadgate on the Guildwheel to the Liverpool Road Bridge over the Ribble towards Penwortham, pausing at the wild flower meadow for mobilisations. Cross the river and turn left on the other side to walk down Holme Road between the Ribble and the playing fields. At the end cross Leyland Road and walk right a little to go down Valley Road, crossing the A59 foot bridge to continue up Valley Road to Hill Road. Turn right and just past the cemetery car park, take the right hand fork path off Hill Road. Continue on this through Hurst Grange to the point it meets the cycle path at a point. Following the cycle path left back to Hill Road, turn right and cross the A59 foot bridge. Curve right under the foot bridge, follow path until Leyland Road. Cross and move down to the old cobbled bridge to cross the Ribble back to Broadgate. Continue down Broadgate and Riverside towards the Continental and cool down just inside Miller Park.

    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.
