How long does this take?
I've done it several times but I couldn't actually say how long it takes - been asked by one of the edinburgh guys:

Hey andy,

Got a quick question for ya if you dont mind. I'm going to be coming through newcastle via the train in edinburgh to take the ferry over to amsterdam with some bikes at the end of the month and I was just wondering what the best way to get from the train station to the ferry landing is, and about how long a ride it will be at a slow riders pace, other snails with me .

ferry landing is in north sheilds I think, here is a link.

This site quotes the journey at 11.5 miles and an hour and a quarter at 12mph, if that helps

You could do it in under an hour quite easily depending on your route

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
