Geocache Description:

Cornwall's first 100 plus cache series. There's a fair mix of footpaths and very minor roads - with quite a lot of up and down sections. Dogs should be no problem, buggies/prams and wheelchairs will struggle - lots. Some stunning views so bring a camera. There are several stiles on the way round.

Mr Choughly  The Choughly Saint's HALO Cache Series

It’s based on parts of “The Saints Way”, a circuit of some 22 miles, taking in coastline, moorland, a tor and a selection of delightful towns and villages - with many spots to stop for tea or if you’re that way inclined there’s a lovely selection of fine Cornish Pubs on the way round.

Cache Name HALO - St Wenn
Cache Comments This is a muggle heavy location close to a Saints Way signpost. Easy to be overlooked from nearby houses so a good deception will be needed - good idea to pretend to be tying your shoe laces!!

This is the last cache in the leg from Par to Tywardreath Highway on the main A390 - take care with dogs and kids. Just down the road to your left towards St Austell is St Blazey Bridge where the road crosses the Par River and the Newquay Railway line crosses the road. The next leg starts just beyond the railway crossing.
Parking & Shops This is a very busy road so take special care. No safe parking nearby.
HALO Website

You'll find a selection of useful hints and tips, as well as a printable User Guide and a HALO series Passport for collecting copies of the Rubber stamps you'll find on the way round at The Choughly Saint's Webpages Here.
