The A30 is the backbone of Cornwall. Over the years, road
'improvement' schemes have altered its course, bypassing
significant sections of the 'old' road. It's surprising how many of
these orphaned bits of the old A30 there are in Cornwall.
The trip from Land's End to the county border (Dunheved Bridge),
is about 80 miles. Up to 50 miles of which can be travelled using
about 18 to 20 sections of the old A30. And I'm sorry to say that I
think they have all been bypassed in my lifetime!
In December 1989 a new six mile section of the A30 was
completed, running between Launceston and Plusha. This removed a
number of bottlenecks, and bypassed some significant accident
spots.
The cache is located on a one and a half mile section of the old
A30 near Tregadillett. It is at the Trebursye end. The cache is on the old road, and is NOT accessible from
the dual-carriageway. There's plenty of space to park near
the cache, on the old road.
You're looking for a 35mm film canister which is hidden in plain
sight - well sort of in plain sight. The film canister is inside a
larger object that is plainly visible. Please, PLEASE, ensure that the film canister is securely
enclosed inside the larger object before you leave. I know
this should be obvious but unfortunately not everyone does so!
There's NO room for trackables to be stored securely so please
DO NOT leave trackables at the cache - they WILL be lost.
