TW11: Towednack Traditional Cache

One of a dozen caches set close to the route of the Tinners Way, a Bronze Age trading route of tin and copper. The caches follow a 16 mile track that covers 20 prehistoric and Christian sites tracing as closely as possible the ancient paths along which tin and copper were transported by people, sledges and pack animals from the mineral-rich area of St. Just to the sheltered anchorage of St. Ives bay.

Tinners Way 11: Towednack

After a dip down in to the valley along another tarmacked road and then a climb out of the other side you will find yourself at the cache site which offers a good view of Towednack church. The church dates back to the 13th-14th Century and has strong connections with the mining industry; there were once 22 mines within the parish, and the church was also used as a setting for several scenes in the BBC's Poldark drama series.

You are looking for a 1L Lock&Lock container.

When hidden the cache contained a logbook and pencil (please leave these items in the cache) and various swaps (all new). If you decide to take something please leave something of equal or higher value. Travel Bugs and Geocoins are not trade items, so if you can help a TB or GC then please feel free to take it and log it without leaving anything. Similarly, simply leaving a TB or GC and nothing else in a cache does not give you the right to take a trade item. Please trade fair and think of future finders.
