Walking without a donkey New 1 Nov, 2024

First Friday Walk

1 November 2024 a Walking the Land artist collective monthly event. This Friday’s brief was by Janette Kerr and me, Tamsin Grainger and part of the Lines of Enquiry, a collective walking art project which will culminate in a group exhibition in 2025.

Here are the What3Words locations for the 6 stops we made along part of the Edinburgh Cycle Path network, connecting in spirit with others who were walking along the Honeybourne Line (Gloucestershire) and elsewhere.

Damp earth causes stains
Tree hosts magpies and sparrows
Home is far away.
Perky dog's tail wags
'Fetch' calls his human with joy
Useful happinness.

Notice how cold stone
Is, in case of chills and piles
Bugs me every time.
Where the 5-ways meet on the Edinburgh Cycle Path
Log sitting linked to
Ruth, tides away from here, though
Eager to connect.
Not Log Letters but Log Drawings (of the soundscape)
Pigeon poo bounty
Belongs here under the bridge
Who to? Only coo!
Despite the metal mesh, the pigeons roost in the roof of the old railway tunnel where Janette draws
Maker mark on pipes
No exit for the sewage
Rose and corn coloured.
Strange, but serious pipes on the hillside
First Friday walking
Notice the noise of the drill
Retail shop going up.
Final stop: drawing together, opposite each other at the end of the Leith Path near the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop

Notes

On the ‘Log sitting …’ haiku: ‘Ruth’ refers to Ruth Broadbent and our project Conversations from a Log
