This cache has been archived.

lingering: The cache containers have been removed as I have decided to close this cache due to geocoins missing and not for the first time? and I find it rather frustrating when doing spot checks on the cache to find it has been tampered with to say nothing about the cost of replacing items etc
Thanks to all for supporting the cache
