Coming Soon... Vile Meets The Giants

He has reviewed shows that did not exist. He was trounced in print by Rob Drummond. He ran a dance magazine at the Fringe. Gareth K Vile has been many things in his career, and most of them have helped him to blot out the memory of his years as a Latin teacher.

But this time, will he go too far? Many years ago, Vile cycled out to Skye. Ostensibly to catch an NVA performance at the Old Man of Storr, it became a battle against his deepest emotions and the elements. Since that day, Vile has stuck to the cities.

This summer, he is heading back on the road. Join him here as he travels in pursuit of The Giants in The Forest. Scattered around Scotland, these Giants merge technology, creativity and nature. The mixture of community action and art was too much for Vile to ignore - and like a Pokemon obsessive, he's gotta get them all.

Thrill as he gets lost in a square mile of forest in the middle of the night.

Laugh as he falls off his bike into the gorse.

Weep at the moments when he finds the glade of the giants.

Wonder why he has decided to pretend he is a beat poet.

Ponder with him on the nature of urban and rural life.

And share the adventure...
