Can anyone help me re. how many calories these burn?

I have 2 options of walking 6 miles or cycling those 6 miles. I've tried finding out how many calories I'd burn but can't find it out. The walking takes me 1 hr 20-30 mins and the cycling 40-45 mins.
Also does anyone know the same for trampolining?
TIA

I know that walking or running burns approx 100 cal per mile. Cycling burns between about 250-600 cal per hour depending on speed/hills etc. Not sure about trampolining I'm afraid.

i like the idea of trampolining to work

Lol asicsgirl and thanks stripysails, I think what i'll do is cycle one 3 miles and walk the other 3, and just attack my son's trampoline whenever I can. I've got way too much weight to lose in a short time Oh and if anyone's got any willpower going spare can you share

being serious now... i would say walk the lot, but briskly. as you get fitter try to do it faster! tbh cycling 3 miles won't burn many cals unless all uphill (as stripysails suggests). good luck!
