Saw them on a news programme but too late to go. I'm not sure about how well it was advertised; I knew nowt about it until then. Marvellous contraptions though, and now in mothballs.
Saw them at Huddersfield this year..
I've never heard of the Giants so I looked at them online,they look impressive and must be a wonderful thing to witness,these are the kind of things that I love to see because you never know if they will appear again in the future,I saw one of a dog drinking from a bowl which was particularly impressive,do they appear only once a year baubles?
No mate, we've had them 3 times, 2012,2014 and this year.
They have been in mainland Europe before now (as they are French and most of the operators (called Lilliputians) are also French)
This is the last time they will ever be seen as they are being retired.Attachment 10880
Griff mentioned that he'd not seen it advertised, it was all over our local news for months, shame you didn't get the chance to see them.
Oh, the photo uploaded!
Just to show the shear size of the giants and the fact that each were operated by about 50 Lilliputians as shown in photo :-)
They look absolutely awesome barbles and it i had known about them then I would have definitely made the journey up there and probably stopped overnight,it must have been a magnificent to witness
