Given that the original comment was regarding walking perhaps we should consider it's length when measured to the nearest foot. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13229#post-161175 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 15:00:51 +0000 Cyclingmollie 161175@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>The coastline is a fractal which means it is infinitely long.</em> I watched Overcoming and it seemed infinitely long. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13229#post-161158 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 13:04:38 +0000 cb 161158@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastline_paradox">Coastline paradox</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13229#post-161156 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 12:31:17 +0000 neddie 161156@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The coastline is a fractal which means it is infinitely long. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13229#post-161152 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 11:38:50 +0000 acsimpson 161152@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Assuming the inlets where the tide going out shortens the coast by a similar amount to peninsulas where it increases then we could assume the coast to be roughly oval. Next if we assume the tide goes out by an average of 25m to account for cliffs with nothing and tidal flats which stretch for miles the expansion would be under 100m.</p> <p>In places you might even find the coastline is shorted when the tide goes out as you replace a rocky area with lots of bumps with a nice smooth sandbank. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13229#post-161110 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 18:02:27 +0000 chdot 161110@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not a lot. </p> <p>High tide on east coast lower tide on west. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13229#post-161109 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 17:32:38 +0000 I were right about that saddle 161109@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>How much longer is the coast of Great Britain when the tide is out? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13229#post-160978 Sun, 03 Aug 2014 09:04:49 +0000 gembo 160978@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Click on the link at the bottom of the documentary page to a blog of dad and eleven year old son cycling around britain's coast, they are in Dumfries now so won't be in Edinburgh for a while.
