hey people

 

so what is your cachemobile (transport that is to say)

 

Mine is my bike (full suspension, 21 gears)

But i broke it. The bearings in the rear wheel and the other stuff that goes in the hub kinda fell out yesterday when i was putting it back on my bike (Needed a HUGE clean after a very muddy cache hunt. )

 

So now using my dads bike. solid frame and 15 gears. NASTY

 

Or when im with my dad his car is much faster. Vauxhall Omega estate, 2.5TD m reg, 207000 miles

 

Soo what are yours

My trusty 2 year old Hartford 125.It's not so popular (like me!) :lol: but is built as a Honda with a good Honda engine.19000kms and only 1 flat tyre,1 new spark plug and 1 snapped clutch cable so far.Although any caches over 20 miles in the winter I usually let the train take the strain.Plus aeroplanes can also be handy for Europe and Worldwide caches. :wub:

Edited to add ...I also walk in my new Scarpa boots to break in for the ultimate cache later this year!

The Mobile Command Center is a Landrover Freelander; inside there's the Microbike (a folder), used to replace longish walkning trails. Sometimes, hanging on the back, is the Technobike (an electric bike with additional gadgetry) that gives me about 40 km range. But the most used transport is a pair of good waterproof boots with extra gel insoles, used in conjunction with my trusty stick.

An 07 plate Mondeo, which I have already added 31,500 to it's clock :lol:

 

and do you park this one using only 3 wheels?! :wub:

 

On the road we use a Ford Focus 1.6 LX, which is officially silver, but is mostly a kind of muddy brown all over!

 

On the feet I have either Merrell very lightweight shoes, Salomen Slightly heavier weight shoes, Karrimor Waterproof fabric boots, or Zamberlan leather boots (which I've had for 14 years and are still brilliant!)

 

MrsPP has Salomen shoes and Scarpa boots - she's not quite as sad as me!

 

Oh, and one big stick!

I have cached with a folding bike (which got two flat tyres at the far end of a 10 mile ride, which meant an unhappy 10 mile walk back)... so rubbish.

 

Now we cache in either

or this

The latter is my favourite.

 

I have recently been known to use

Get thee to your local decent bike shop - the mechanic should have a jamjar full of them in the workshop......

 

(Note - that's decent bike shop - NOT Hallfords !!!!)

 

....and when you put the hub back together make sure you slap loads of grease in there, before the balls go in. Then they won't fall out when you slide the outer race in and get everything tightened up
