Around Cabbage Hill Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

sandvika: I've decided that I'd rather re-invest the maintenance effort for this cache into new caches. It has required a lot of maintenance over the years but has been found very few times overall. I'll retrieve the first and last stages, the remaining traditional caches on the route will remain.
