This one is aimed at high Westerly winds & therefore hilly on good lanes that provide great protection when heading into / across the winds. I also use the sandstone ridge to provide some cover heading west hence, the route heads to Bunbary from The ginger pickle cafe in Tarpoley.
I have plotted well known lanes that have high hedgerows when heading into & across the wind.
Also throw in the climb up to Peckforton castle, which takes the total assent well over 3000’. However, without it, the route is still just over 3000’.
The route is perfect for a direct Westerly wind. Bit more of a struggle on the return from Bunbary, if the wind turns to south west, as the ridge won’t provide the same protection.
Amazing how much cover there is on this route ,even from Tarpoley, the new bit, by passing Eatonis a lovely little farm lane, which is good.
Really is a fab route and a favourite.

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.
