Bits and pieces, news, views, reviews and stuff
So 2020 sees another trail featuring Aardman’s characters from Wallace and Gromit. This one though is much shorter and all the sculptures are at the Mall at Cribbs Causeway.
Before lockdown we managed to find them all within a couple of hours.

At the Mall there is a Gromit trail.
This is The Wensleydale Kid. This sculpture was in a shop window with glass in front, which made it difficult to photograph.
Featuring Wallace, Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Feathers McGraw, The Grand Adventure will see 15 sculptures pup-up in various locations around The Mall – launching on Saturday, 24 October. You’ll be able to travel around the world visiting brand new designs, as well as firm favourites from previous trails, each representing a different country.
The Wensleydale Kid was part of the 2018 trail and was up at the Clifton Observatory.
Complete with hat, this cowboy themed Wallace looks a lot like Woody from Toy Story.
Walking up the steep slopes to the Clifton Observatory you can find 14. The Wensleydale Kid.

I like the description from the sculpture page which is all old west in style.
Howdy, y’all, and welcome to Bristol’s very own slice of the Wild West, sponsored by Darcy Associates. Painted by artist Paula Bowles, you can bet ‘The Wensleydale Kid’ is decked out in the whole wrangling kit and caboodle. Cowboy hat? Check. Cowboy boots? Check. Bandana? Check. Horse? Erm… looks like a park bench will have to do for now! Yee-haw! So pony-up and skedaddle over to Clifton Observatory to meet this buckaroo! Giddy’up!
Back in 2015 I attempted to see and photograph all 70 Shaun the Sheeps I managed to get 62. This time I am aiming to get all 67 sculptures. I have created this page to record all the sculptures we find. Download the app to find the sculptures.
