Does anyone know how long it would take approximately to cycle from Boldon Colliery to Silverlink, via the pedestrian tunnel?

Can you cycle in a pedestrian tunnel? I'm confused.

I reckon about 30 minutes
45 minutes if you are unfit, overweight and have a shit bike

How long do you reckon it will take you?

Yeah, it's got two separate tunnel; one for walking, the other for cycling.

It's only about six miles away; about half an hour. Wouldn't take more than an hour, even at a leisurely pace.

Where the frig is the pedestrian tunnel again?

All it is is that I'm thinking about cycling to work some days rather than using the car. I work just up from silverlink (cobalt).

(cobalt).

Go to the right of the car tunnel, past the Bede centre turn off, past the refinery
Its before you get to the Rohm & Hass site (if R&H is still there)

I think I'll do the trip on Sunday and see how long it takes me.

I'm still none the wiser, I'll just cycle round and find it.
