The centrepiece of a Godiva Awakes performance on 28 July, the six metres tall animated puppet is on her steed powered by 25 cyclists and travelling along Hales Street as part of the Godiva Carnival. Over the next few days she will be propelled by 100 cyclists in teams towards London, stopping over at Rugby, Northampton (where she will receive a pair of size 72 hand-crafted boots), Milton Keynes, Luton, Hatfield, Waltham Abbey and arriving at Waltham Forest on 5 August.
