They however were heading into Bristol to track down some &#8216;Shaun the Sheep&#8217; so we decided to join them.<\/p>\n<p>In spring 2015, Aardman&#8217;s internationally-acclaimed character Shaun the Sheep came to Bristol (home of the Aardman characters)\u00a0for a ewe-nique arts trail &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/shauninthecity.org.uk\/shauns?location=bristol\">Shaun in the City<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Numerous\u00a0giant Shaun the Sheep sculptures, created by artists, celebrities and designers, have\u00a0been placed in iconic locations to raise funds for Wallace &amp; Gromit&#8217;s Grand Appeal and support Bristol Children&#8217;s Hospital. A similar trail has been set up in London too and both flocks will eventually\u00a0go to auction to raise money for sick children in hospitals across the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Various trails have been set up around these sculptures and today we were following the Harbourside Trail which consisted of 12 Shaun Sculptures. We started at The Cottage Inn on Baltic Wharf. This whole area is an old haunt of mine, not far from where we lived in Bristol. Baltic Wharf was the stretch\u00a0of water in the docks that I learned to windsurf on and I used to keep my boards at the sailing club here for a while. The docksides were also our preferred walking route into town and of course the other side of the docks was my route to school everyday so I knew it very well indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Some things never change and many of the features and landmarks that I saw everyday during my school years are just the same as they always have been. Nothing stands still around here though and there was plenty of change as we made our way around the docks&#8230;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19799\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Sgt-Shepher.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19799\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19799\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Sgt-Shepher.jpg\" alt=\"Sgt.

Shepherd<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We met Jay, Jennie, Harry, Charlie and Jack and headed off in search of sheep. First stop right by The Cottage Inn was a sheep called Sgt. Shepherd. We had downloaded the official Shaun in the City app and as we approached we were able to log it as found using GPS location data. Each sculpture also has a unique four digit code on it allowing you to log it using the code if you don&#8217;t have GPS.<\/p>\n<p>After a quick photo\u00a0we continued on our way having logged our first Shaun the\u00a0Sheep and having gained a trophy in the app for getting started. As well as logging each sheep, the app gives you various trophies for all sort of things as you make your way around the trail.<\/p>\n<p>The next stop wasn&#8217;t too far away as we walked along the southern side of the docks. As always there were lots of people sailing in Baltic Wharf and the ferries where cruising up and down the docks too. There were also lots of groups of people out Stand-up Paddleboarding and canoeing too.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t\u00a0remember the exact order that we did each Shaun the Sheep, but I think the next one was just outside the Aardman offices not far from the old Maritime Museum and the SS Great Britain. There were loads of other people doing the trail and everyone wanted a photo, so at each location there was a little bit of a wait until it was our turn. The children all lined up for a quick photo and then we had a nose in through the windows of the Aardman offices where there were loads of other giant sculptures of various Aardman characters.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19800\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Lotus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Lotus.jpg\" alt=\"Lotus\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Lotus.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Lotus-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Lotus-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Lotus-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Lotus-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19800\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lotus<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We continued on our way, I was noting the changes that had happened in this area as we went and pointing out things that we used to do here.\u00a0Places we watched the powerboats from, things we used to climb, places we swam and such like.

It didn&#8217;t last long though and afterwards things started to brighten up a bit. The section of docks along here has been completely transformed. The old dock buildings and storage sheds\u00a0have all gone, replaced with a vibrant community of expensive flats, waterside bars and a network of paths and walkways. They\u00a0have even created floating habitats along the edge of the docks where plants grow and waterfowl roam. It&#8217;s really nice along here now and so much busier than it used to be.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19808\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Harbourside.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19808\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19808\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Harbourside.jpg\" alt=\"Harbourside\" width=\"950\" height=\"305\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Harbourside.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Harbourside-200x64.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Harbourside-750x241.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19808\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harbourside<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We were even lucky\u00a0enough to see the Matthew sail by as we stood there looking at the dockside views.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-19798 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bristol-Docks.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bristol-Docks-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Bristol Docks\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-19809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bristol-Docks-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bristol-Docks-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Bristol-Docks.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-19809'>\n\t\t\t\tBristol Docks\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/The-Matthew.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/The-Matthew-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"The Matthew\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-19810\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/The-Matthew-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/The-Matthew-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/The-Matthew.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-19810'>\n\t\t\t\tThe Matthew\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>There were plenty more Shaun&#8217;s to find as well.
