Part 11 (2/2)

CAIRNGORM, THE MACWOMBLE THE TERRIBLE . . .

. . . lives in the Scottish burrow by Loch Ness in Scotland, where he helps to look after Nessie the Water-Womble. He often visits the Wimbledon burrow, where he drives everyone mad by playing the bagpipes. Cairngorm can be quite gruff and even bossier than Bungo!

Wonderful Wombling Facts.

Wombles choose their names from places, cities and rivers found in Great Uncle Bulgaria's atlas of the world.

Young Wombles spend their time in the Womblegarten, run by Miss Adelaide Womble, until they are old enough to tidy up outside.

Midsummer's Eve is the most important night in the Wombles' year. They have a big party and eat far too much.

There are Womble burrows all over the world, including Hyde Park in London, Loch Ness in Scotland, Yellowstone Park in the USA, and the Khyber Pa.s.s on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The main burrow is underneath Wimbledon Common, South-west London.

Fortune and Bason is Orinoco's favourite shop.

Great Uncle Bulgaria's middle name is Coburg.
