Wednesday Walk - River walk with my daughter and collecting litter for #cleanplanet !

in Wednesday Walk2 years ago

I thought I'd combine multiple threads into one walk today - a nice family walk with my daughter after her first day of second year in High School, wednesday walk, and I also collected litter along the way (for #cleanplanet).

I parked near this former pump house/mill next to the River Almond. Its a steak house now - and has this beautiful tall window on the side of the building.

From there we took a path upriver from beside these lovely cottages.

We were walking along the River Almond, which will get Salmon, and hence its fishing rights are protected.

We passed under this bridge which is the main traffic route in and out of Edinburgh on that side of the city.

And the local graffiti artists have been busy under the bridge !

The aim was to get to an older bridge further up, where the river has cut a channel naturally through some bedrock.

The walk is quite pleasant with tree cover all along. We passed a few other joggers and dog walkers - but it wasnt very busy (6 people in total).

The tree above was quite interesting - its basically rotting away from the inside ! It must have some kind of disease.

The sun was shining when we got to the bridge we were heading for (about 1 mile up).

Its quite a pretty bridge, but hard to see properly due to all the vegetation.

You can see below where the river has cut a path through the bedrock, and it picks up quite a bit of speed there.

On the way back, I started collecting litter. We passed this oddly positioned marker to the side of the path, which I think indicates the position of a large water pipe.

And the farmers cows were out in the field.

The upper part of the path was actually surprisingly free of litter, but I picked up a good handful closer to the end of the walk and got rid of it in a bin in the car park. I will often collect litter when out on a walk, as I believe in cleaning up the environment - and simply cant comprehend why anyone would drop any. I recently stumbled across the #cleanplanet thread and it has inspired me to collect more - and I think combining it with wednesday walk is a great idea. If others joined in, just think of the good we could do each wednesday !

Anyway, I enjoyed my walk, my daughter told me all about her day, we enjoyed the fresh air, we saw some nature, we got some nice exercise, and we left the path a cleaner place ! Not too bad indeed.

I hope you are all having a great wednesday, and I cant wait to see all the other posts from around the world ! All the best from Scotland.

Thanks for mentioning #cleanplanet I remember them from the old Steemit days and good on you for cleaning up! :)

That old stone bridge is a postcard-ready setting, and I love structure like that. You live in a beautiful country that I hope to have the privilege of visiting someday. :)

Aye - the bridge is really pretty - would have been nice to have gotten a better view of it !

Beautiful place for a walk. Great idea too to include Wednesday walk with cleaning up. A little can go a long way. I love discovering new places from photos and stories shared on Hive. An advance happy weekend...
