So, in the past i have taken Ebob puppets as far as AUSTRALIA, CANADA and the USA, and every time forgotten to take any d**n pictures... no longer the case. Since relocating to Portland, i've discovered some truly amazing places, and decided to take the little blighters out for a trip.
Here, you can see me in front of a cave mouth. I'm less than 10 meters from the sea here. This was an old smuggling cave, that leads to an even older well shaft. Legend tells that the smugglers would bring bootleg booze in here to sneak it into the house far (FAR) above.

Here, you can see the view of the well shaft, looking up. It's not the most safe place in the world, and without the help of a good torch, you'd see nothing, it's that dark.
I've no idea how far up it goes... probably 25 metres or more. Originally it used to run into the back room of a house/pub where the smugglers would hide their illegal booze.
Here our intrepid Ebobs clamber up an old piece of railway line. These used to run at 45 degree angles up the inside of the shaft to platforms, so the barrels could be rolled up one segment at a time. This rusted metal strut is all that remains. The rest was ripped out in the 2nd World War for security reasons, apparently.
The Ebobs wonder how, with only three legs between them, they're going to get down from here.
Here is the family group shot. The Ebob with the camera is taking a picture of the other two. Sadly, the Ebob with the map died on the way. You'll also notice one of the Ebobs has a leg missing. Apparently, somewhere in that cave there's an Ebob leg... possibly there forever now.
In the mouth of the Cave, the Ebobs pose for a group shot, aware that unless they hurry, the tide could consume them completely.
So... there ya go.
