Download a map of where the full-size Wow! Gorillas are to be found.
Even better are the maps that can be picked up from Bristol Libraries, and other places, as they also give the names, sponsors and artists of the apes. Apparently the locations of the mini apes decorated by schools will appear on the Bristol Zoo website eventually.
Guide books, presumably featuring photos of all the Wow! Gorillas, comments and possibly profiles of the artists are available (hopefully by now) from Bristol Zoo and the Tourist Information Office, for £2.95.

LOADSA pix of Gorillas on the streets
The public have posted LOADS of pictures on the Wow! Gorillas Facebook page of all the big Gorillas (probably) except Anthony Hitchcock's Guerrilla Tourist, which is in Birmingham Coach Station encouraging people to change their travel plans and come to Bristol, as well as lots of the 101 little apes decorated by Bristol schoolchildren.
Anthony's Hubert outside the Holiday Inn City Centre, Bond Street, has been much admired though. He used to be known as Joe, when I knew him,
There are a couple of pictures of Bert on the 'Wall'.

Bitton Station - new home to Bert
Contrary to earlier posts, my gorilla Bert is not to be seen outside Bristol Zoo, but at Bitton Station.
Bitton Station is part of The Avon Valley Railway. Volunteers have restored this bit of the Midland Railway Line, and run steam trains from there throughout the summer. See the timetable here.
Bitton Station is also on the Bristol - Bath Cyclepath, a 13 mile off-road route for walkers and cyclists between the two cities. There is a picnic area, pub, river and horse-riding route in the area. The nearby Willsbridge Mill is part of a Avon Wildlife Trust reserve, with an education centre. See all the things happening and available in the area here.
Meanwhile, another gorilla sponsored by Mama Bear's Day Nursery, which went on the gorilla flotilla, is the gorilla greeting visitors to Bristol Zoo. It represents animals in pairs, and is called Noah.

Gorilla Flotilla, Bristol Docks - THIS MORNING
Some of the gorillas will be taking a Ferry trip around Bristol Docks in 3 boats this morning, starting about 11.15am. See them in the vicinity of the Centre, Arnolfini, M-Shed, and Thekla.
Some other gorillas will be watching from near the Arnolfini.
