Just to prove that there is such a thing as Nicodemus Knob, here are a few pics I took of a recent trip on my bike to the very top of Portland. A trip in which I suffered - SUFFERED - for this website, finding out the hard way that Incline Road is called that for a damn good reason.
That's a new set of lungs you lot owe me.
An actual Knob, side view, with Lego man and dog for scale.
The Spanish Inquisition coming round the side of the Knob.
Knob, with HMP The Grove in the background, home to some of the region's least capable criminal minds.Nicodemus Knob is a stack of Portland stone left by quarry workers. No one's entirely sure why, but it's probably to show how much stone they'd taken from the top of the island to hide the bordeom of digging a very deep hole.
Or simply, the guy in charge was showing off about having a VERY BIG ...err... pickaxe.
And, because I'm a dreadful show-off, here's a snap of Fortuneswell (Twin Town: Benghazi) I took on the way up the side of the Citadel, minutes after an unfortunate sick-inna-hedge episode. Click through the pic to enjoy big, because I spent actual time photoshopping l33t tilt-shift sk1llz into it.Do it. Now. NOW.

Could of walked.
But at least the ride back down again must have been great...
Ten mile round trip. More if you include stumbling around quarries trying to find the bloody thing.

It's all phallic with you men, isn't it?
This 10 mile round trip... just how many local dogging spots did it cover?
Nice knob. But you're not getting my lungs. I can offer you a spleen or maybe an appendix, but that's it.
And You couldn't have photoshopped Ceiling Cat in there?
Lovely teeny town.
As a photographer you would make a good tram driver! I've seen better pictures on the back of our council refuse truck!
Try using a camera next time.
Incidently, have you read my new book? It's called "How to make new friends and impress the old ones". Available fro £349.99 from Amazing.com.
