Otherwise it should be archived. If there is no response to this log after 30 days I will archive the cache. In the meantime I am disabling it.

Guidelines:

You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.), or posts a Needs Maintenance log. Temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have addressed the problem. You are permitted a reasonable amount of time – generally up to 4 weeks – in which to check on your cache.

Could the cache owner please place a note on the cache page so that other cachers and I can see what your intentions are.

Geocache Description:

Dun Caan is the highest point on the Isle of Raasay, appearing to be a "volcano", which can be clearly seen from all around the surrounding areas. There are various approaches to Dun Caan with the two main ones being from the Raasay ferry terminal up the disused railway and follow Inverarish burn towards Dun Caan. The other way is a road walk/drive to the "path" from Balmeanach.
Both have a steep last 10 minutes to the summit and when you get to the summit,EXTREME CARE has to be taken especially with young ones and pets as there is a vertical drop only 4 foot from the trig point.Views from here are spectacular 360deg around, so take your camera.
After finding this one a visit to the "Dolphin Cafe" in Raasay House is a must as they sell great cakes, coffee or maybe a beer to quench the thirst! They can run people to ferries or just give you local information.
