Water of Leith

I walked along the Water of Leith walkway - http://www.waterofleith.org.uk/ - last night after work as I wanted to go and get my old DiamondBack Topanga - from my parent's garage, due to the Marin Novato - http://www.brianrourke.co.uk/images/Novato.jpg - getting stolen last week.

I stuck the Trainspotting soundtrack - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trainspotting_(soundtrack) - on the Ipod and trotted along from Stockbridge to Roseburn.

It's a pleasant walk and often it seems like you are miles from any major city.

There was plenty for the senses to experience;

Sights;
Wildlife (Two wood pigeons, a heron, assorted dogs, a squirrel, swarms of insects, approximately six pairs of Bouncing Tits and plenty of other unidentified birds).
A homosexual ned couple, sitting on a bench, chinning a two litre bottle of Frosty Jacks Cider - http://www.frostyjacks.co.uk/ - and snogging.
A tramp sitting on a bench supping a bottle of White Lightning Cider - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Lightning_(cider) - and smoking a cigarette.
A young couple performing some odd dance/fight - then I realised the girl had a wasp in her hair.
A father teaching his daughter to walk. On a bridge across the river.
A Polish couple chatting and smoking weed.
Various people jogging, cycling, walking etc.

Smells;
The odd Brewery-like smell that you always experience on sections of the Water of Leith.
Wild Garlic.
Weed being smoked.
Dog shit.

Sounds;
The Trainspotting Soundtrack

Tastes;
Nothing.

Feel;
The sun on my face and the breeze in my hair.
Mud under my feet.

It took around 40 minutes to get to my destination.
