Mint Sauce - XTREME SPORTS Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

Victor4291: After a great deal of thought I have decided to archive several of my caches in the Cader Idris area and free up space for others to utilise. It is time for a fresh batch of caches and some new series in this greatly loved area.
All the containers will be collected over a period of time, as soon as i can safely get out to the areas concerned.
If you come across one of my caches please leave it in situ as i will be collecting them soon.
Any trackables in archived caches will be collected first and moved on.
Thank you to all those who visited the caches over the past few years, your visits and logs have been greatly welcomed.
