Wolves in Wolves part 2 Blog

Another 15 great Wolves to tell you about. (Me refers to roving reporter my sister Star @MissStarhound)

After leaving 21. Wolf McWolf it was over the bridge and down to the Chubb locks building. In there is a lovely cinema and cafe and they kindly let me into the foyer to grap a photo with 22. Sacred Grandfathers

It was then up the hill to Lichfield street to 23. Beanstalk that was in the foyer of the theatre. The glass reflected the Wolf but a great photo of me !

Hoomans had wanted to take me on the tram to Wolverhampton but sadly I'm not an assistance dog so dogs aren't allowed ! Boo ! But as you can see from this happy little fellow you can get there by bus 🚌

Continuing up the road to the gardens by the memorial cenotaph by St Peters Collegiate church for the correctly name 24. Fallen . Around the wolf were names of those sadly killed in WWI

The gardens are also next to the art gallery (free entry) but again hoomans had to take it in turn to see all the wolves as no dogs allowed in the gallery. There are also loads of small wolves in there.

The two big wolves on the above photo are 01. Wild (top right) and 02. Colour. (Left wolf). As you can see Hoodad also managed to find a selfie frame. He also looked at some of the other exhibits in the gallery a puppet exhibit and a dinosaur exhibit.

They also have a paying exhibit well worth seeing.

On leaving the gallery it was right to the top of road and left to the top of Queen Square where we found 28. Beowulf where they had water fountains. Rolo would love trying to drink these dry but I wasn't so keen to get my paws wet never alone drink the fountains.

Down the road and right towards the civic centre on the plaza was 27. Zeus

Then just at the end of the building it becomes the register office where I found 03. Love. Apparently at the register office hoomans declare their love where my hooparents did this had shut down. Fortunately their love is still going strong.

Not only was it a great pink colour but it smelt good. By now the numbers of people wearing black and gold had multiplied more and more kick off time was approaching so we followed them down to the Molinuex football ground. Those not in the know or my readers further afield home of Wolverhampton Wanders FC.

Yep found myself in the middle of busy football ground. I got some friendly patting and one bloke even offered to make a donation thinking I was on meet and greet and wondered where the collection tin was.
Eventually we found the wolf in the Wolves Museum foyer.

The reflection was terrible but one of the lovely security guys let me in for a quick photo.

Hoodad went to look into the megastore and was amazed at how many shirts there were. On leaving he looked at the security guard on the door with a clicker. He uses one for walks 72 being a good walk. She had clicked 2245 and loads of fans were still going in – wow !!

We left the ground and back under the underpass of the road and then released we had missed 04. Hunter outside the university.

We went back up the hill to the Arena Theatre again I waited outside whilst hoomans got a photo of 25. Fenrir (an Anglo Saxon wolf) that even has its own leaflet to explain what each of the symbols mean.

Then we realised we had missed one outside the main entrance of the civic centre 26. Wolf Ver-Hampton

We then headed to the mander centre where I chilled with mom

Whilst Hoodad went into the centre to get 29. Mander

When Hoomom went into the centre she also found the WolvesinWolves merchandise store on the first floor next to new look. Then we found 30. Claude that's is in a mystery location which we found out where it was from their twitter account – @Wolvesinwolvo

1 final stroll to find the last wolf 06. The Sitting in the WV Active central

Then across the car park and back to where our car was – the facts

First wolf photographed at 11.02
Last wolf photographed at 15.52
Total all 30 wolves found
Time spent 4 hours 50
This all equals – 1 tired hound.

Wolves in Wolves Part 1 Blog

Saturday 29th July my hoomans were off to find the Wolves art sculptures in Wolverhampton. The walk was going to be 4 plus miles so I sent my roving reporter sister Star @MissStarhound it would be too far for my old legs. (Any reference to me is actually Star)

Hooman has only ever been to Wolverhampton twice before once to see Ken Dodd (very funny) and a meeting. So walking round the city will be fun sightseeing also. They parked up on the outskirts of west park (top left of the map).

This meant a quick walk across the park to find number 7 Baylis – which was sponsored by the Nhs – Wolverhampton Clinical Commissioning Group

Then round to Marston brewery shop which Hoodad had a quick look at but didn't buy any beer heavy to carry all the way round. (8. Thomas)

After walking under a massive roundabout via the underpass it was up Darlington Street to 9. Sunset

Round then a bit of a walk to 10. Support Life

To the end of the road and a right and left until the edge of the market where 11. Compton was.

We walked through the market where dad got some Black Country pork scratchings that he eat quickly so they must have been nice. After leaving the market went up school street to the Arena theatre where 12. Kiyiya was, unfortunately it was inside so no photos with me in.
Here the hoomans managed to pick up a couple of official maps rather than the printed copy from the internet.
A left at the end of the road into church street and then skirt round the outskirts of the Church of St.John in the square. Right into a left and right into George Street where at the end of the road was a rainbow 🌈 well actually wolf 13.Rainbow

Down towards the shopping area and off the the right the central library 14. Meditation

Having Star with them they went a slightly different way to come across 17. Endless Opportunities

But then they had to take it in turns to go and find the two in The Wulfrun Centre. Star had a drink a well deserved rest.

In the entrance was 16. Aurora

Further round the centre in the atrium was 15. Hope

Hoomans doubled back on themselves to 17. Then left into Market Street to find 18. Dynasty

It was now 12.39 and we started to see loads of people walking around in Black and Gold shirts – wolves were playing at home 3pm kick off so all the bars had big blokes outside of them ! (Bouncers) hoomans decided it was time to grap some lunch. Star and Hoomom found seats whilst dad went to get the McDonalds.

Food and rest had a left into queen street to find the fire brigade sponsored wolf 19. Flame 🔥

Star spotted a pet shop and promptly made hoomans take her in and £1 later 8 doggie sausages were bought. Then it was Wolves by transport the first 20. Garden was at the bus 🚌 station.

Then down Railway drive towards the train station 21. Wolfy McWolf

Time to stop half way through the trip it's late and I need walking before going to bed. Part 2 of the trip will follow tomorrow.
