+Team Noodles Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Puffin what??? You mean you don't have one already???? slacker!!!!! Quote
+Unobtainium Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 He may already have one, but as it's a stealth plane, you'll never know. :-) Quote
+scottpa100 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 The Puffin does seem to be good, but I would put the Hoverwing as the perfect cache mobile. It can go on land (roads), bog and marsh like normal hovercrafts and of course water too like a normal hovercraft. But when you go fast enough, using the ground effect, it can fly too so any big rivers, lakes... caching in style!! Quote

+drdick&vick Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Just be careful that the good Dr doesn't cactch you out on his Stealth leccy bike Quote
+Simply Paul Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 - and price range. It folds too, making it useful for travelling further afield. Quote
+drsolly Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 - and price range. It folds too, making it useful for travelling further afield. I'd say that looks like one of the worst electric bikes available. You can get one twice as good at half the price. Quote
+Matthew 7:7 Too Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Or better still, an ordinary mountain bike to save carrying the heavy batteries around! Chris Quote
+Bear and Ragged Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 - and price range. It folds too, making it useful for travelling further afield. Is that the one they had on Top Gear? Comes in a bag, all in bits, to be assembled by you? Quote

+Simply Paul Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 This is a bit more affordable (also no connection to the sale) Quote

+Simply Paul Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Returning to electric bikes, this looks pretty good for the money. Not amphibious though. Nor does it fly... Cyclamatic Foldaway Electric Bike Quote
+Simply Paul Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Well worth a thread-resurrection: http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/W...ssibly_go_wrong Want! Quote
GerritS Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Well worth a thread-resurrection: http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/W...ssibly_go_wrong Want! Well for me it would have to be something like these. Not very green of me but I would hate to cache without a land rover. You can see over the hedges, see parking coming up earlier, no worries about ground clearance... Plenty of space to store all your caching gear... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Land-Rover-4x4-Roof-...9#ht_2135wt_732 Quote
team tisri Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Well worth a thread-resurrection: http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/W...ssibly_go_wrong Want! Looks great for getting from cache to cache. Might even be good for getting those 5/5 rated caches tucked at the top of chimney stacks. Not so good for getting to the cache under heavy tree cover, I fear. Quote

Ok my present Caching set up is not to shabby: http://img.geocaching.com/track/cd5d1dbb-2...d58691f37c2.jpg But will be putting above on my christamass caching list for caching gear to go in the back Quote
+drsolly Posted March 10, 2010 Author Posted March 10, 2010 Another useful cachemobile. http://www.thebigmoney.com/blogs/shifting-...ack-yes-jetpack Quote
+Munkeh Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Another useful cachemobile. http://www.thebigmoney.com/blogs/shifting-...ack-yes-jetpack I just tried strapping the hover to my back it didn't work Quote
+ChaceGuild Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Oh come on - you can't beat this beauty: The Lara Croft custom Land Rover Defender I've seen the original at the Heritage Motor Centre (Gaydon), and she's still fully equipped! Everything you could need to go geocaching in rough terrain, and it even comes with a dock for your GPSr/enabled phone Quote
+drsolly Posted March 10, 2010 Author Posted March 10, 2010 I like the handles on the sides and back. When you get really rough terrain, you just hop out and carry it. That's not so far from my Freelander, except all the equipment is on the inside, where it's less likely to get nicked first time you park it. But still, a jetpack ... not only offroad, you can use that across fields, up hills, across rivers. Barbed wire fences no longer an issue, just vertical take-off from one cache and vertical land to the next. And it's not that far in price, either. Quote
Puppy Socks Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 And as an additional bonus, it would blow away all the stick-o-flage as you land, thus further reducing your cache to find time ratio ! That is, until you have to retrieve said stick-o-flage from the four corners of the field where it scattered! Quote
