Every time I travel on the train between St Austell and Truro I am always taken by how it secretly travels through the countryside. I live in a rural corner of Mid Cornwall about 2 miles from the track and on quiet evenings I can occasionally hear the distant rumble of the trains. This little series of caches takes you to some of the surprising and impressive corners of Cornwall where the main line sneaks through, under and over some very pretty countryside.
This cache is a small camouflaged petling tube
The cache is too small for a pen, please bring your own.
The cache is magnetically attached to its host.
The hidden railway becomes a little shy as it passes through the village of Coombe – it dives through a long deep cutting to hide itself away from the lucky people who live in this pretty corner of Cornwall. Again, I would not like to guess how many tons of earth and stone had to be dug out of here. This is a cache and dash – parking alongside the cache site. Please take care with geosprogs and geohounds.
