The only problem at the mo' is that I've broken my mountain bike (in half...) and my new bike isn't as easy to mount my GPS on... One of the new caches is literally 100 feet of one of my cycle rides but without my GPS mount I keep forgetting to pick it up.
I had my Gecko 201 pinched with my luggage a couple of months ago so I've replaced it with a 301 which has a barometric altimetre and a Magnetic compass which I'll probably use to assist with locating caches under tree cover.
Ellan Vannin and I were out on the bikes a couple of weeks ago so maybe we can get a few going. Its all about preparing before hand - I usually get home from work and ten minutes later I'm out cycling so I'd need to get the cache ready the night before. And of course I always forget.
One of my current plans is a 'route cache' which will be a walking or cycling route taking in Red Mountain, Colden and two / three others in near by locations to form a loop. We found some old telegraph pole stumps between Red Mountain and the Creg (not the Creg-ny-Baa but the old quarry building which overlooks the reservoir) which are easy enough to find and will hold a decent size cache. I think that area of the Island is possibly my favourite as the views are incredible.
And I have plans for another evil cache - 'witches barrels' was accidentally difficult but it has given me a good insight in how to make caches more rewarding when you do find them.
