This is aimed at an easy one for SW winds, in clockwise direction & NW in the anti-clockwise direction of course. hence, uses the Greenway and is therefore not ideal after heavy rains and or winter due to the debris that collects on the Greenway and floods in places.


For this clockwise version of this route, the cafe stop is Gladstone library cafe off Glladsne lane ( open 7 days a week till 5 pm.

For Anti-clockwise route, it’s Jamoley’s ( note they close on Wed now)

This route has had numerous changes to resolve the difficulties of getting around Queensferry and Huntington road works. I now think I have the the best way, which keeps it simpler in avoiding the major Sue’s regarding pathways around Queensferry, as the map is not as straight forward as the map would have you think.
This version also means I only have to use a very short strech of A road to get up to Hawarden..
A simple way to extend this route to 50 miles is to do the full Greeenway to Meadow Lea and home. This also means we cut out Huntington, while the road works are going on.

I need to save this route as a Garmin route ( 019) next time I ride the route, as I have deleted 019 off my Garmin and will replace that route with this one.
NOTE: This version also takes us through Huntington via the cycle path ,avoiding the main road into chester , which is closed completely due to a year long program of works.
The cycleway is paved and only patchy debri.

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.
