20th-22 April-Full details of route/video on Website www.giantspectacular.com/Would imagine difficult to travel on buses or parking on those days. Would imagine something like Giant Spider. There is a little girl giant, an uncle and a new one just revealed. They will wake up in different parts of the City and walk for four hours each journey.

Isn't it connected to the Titanic commemorative events. It should be quite amazing, but as you say, travel and parking a nightmare. We'll be ok from this side....just take a ferry boat!
Thanks Paxvo.

This coincides with a week off, so I'll be heading over for the Friday afternoon stuff as well as the Sunday farewell.
I'm as yet undecided about going over Saturday too.

I feel a real let down with these things, its only a string puppet comparable to something that could have been made hundreds of years ago. What a disaster for our modern technology????
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music.
