Double Trouble is a re-working, in a more maneageable spot, of an earlier hide:
Gemini - The Twins
Originally situated, appropriately, in Twin Road, Ryde the cache celebrated a family event.
The hide was, however, difficult to maintain and the area prone to flooding and, even worse, it was home to drop-bear sized mosquitoes.
There are lots of twins in literature and popular culture. Some twin tales involve merry romps of mistaken identity. Some are comic relief, some historical epics, others definitely darker. But, whatever the story, you can be sure it's going to be a rollercoaster ride.
Well-known twins include:
Romulus and Remus (they founded Rome)
Romulus and Remus being suckled by a she-wolf on the bank of the Tiber River

Esau and Jacob (a mess of pottage??)
Castor and Pollux (absolute stars - see constellation map above)
Sebastian and Viola (some Shakespearean cross-dressing involved)
Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee (Wonderland's dumb and dumber)
Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger (cruelly separated at birth)
Cersei and Jaime (probably the least said the better, but they did it with loads of style)
Apollo and Diana (classical mythology's most famous multi-tasking twins --- rebirthed in the modern age as Superman and Wonder Woman.)

The cache is a camouflaged mint tin.
This is a busy area. Please be discreet. You should be able to reach the cache from the footpath, without entering any garden space.
