Greater Wellington Regional Council has made it easier to find the short cuts when getting around on bike or by foot. www.journeyplanner.org.nz helps active travellers seek out the quickest routes and even tells you how many calories you'll burn.

The planner helps make cycling and walking even more convenient by providing you with straight forward directions along a direct route from A to B. Whether you are a seasoned or a novice walker or cyclist, planning a commute to work or a trip to the local shops or library, simply key in your origin and destination and in seconds you'll have all the information you need about your particular journey!

You'll find out how long your journey will take, how hilly the trip is and get an estimate of how many calories you'll burn! Detailed route directions are also provided in a print or email friendly format. The journey planner will even provide you with the location of bike racks, drinking fountains, toilets and points of interest such as parks.
