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.

I plot the routes before doing them so I didn't include notes when I planned this. However did this on 5/9/15.
An absolutely fantastic route. Great variety of loch shore, woodland, hill, mountain and seascape. Superb views at every turn. A large part of the route rolls along with short steep sections and with numerous climbs over passes the amount of ascent tires the legs. The last 20 miles along Loch Eil is thankfully flat.
