<p>My girlfriend and I went for a walk on Sun. We climbed 3 peaks in Snowdonia. My girlfriend had one of them Nike tracking apps running on her phone all the while. In the end it gave us these stats:</p>

<pre><code>Distance: 20Km (as the crow flies)
Time: 8 hours
Calories: 4000
</code></pre>

<p>The calories though were based on us walking on the flat. It didn't allow for the fact that we'd climbed over 1000m multiple times. </p>

<p>So how many calories did we realistically burn in the period of time we were walking? or is there a better way to work this out?</p>
