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.
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 Crida |
| Cache Comments |
Cache placed off the coastal footpath leading to Booley Beach, a very popular spot with both locals and visitors; in the summer months this will be a very busy spot! Booley Beach is the first small cove after Little Hell, if wet, the footpath will be very slippery. If you stand at the cache site and look eastwards you should, on a clear day, be able to see the flagpole at Polkerris.
You are looking for a camouflaged 35mm container in a small crevice in the rocks which can be reached without leaving the rocky path to the beach. |
| Parking & Shops |
Parking is available at Par Beach, there is a parking charge in the summer months. |
| 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.
There's a special HALO Forum if you wish to ask for any help or advice Here

| Lucky Chough Contest |
If you're lucky enough to find a small, lovingly handcrafted chough in any of the caches, then you could be lucky enough to win one of a very limited number of the 2008 Cornish Geocoin in an Antique Bronze finish. Just Email Choughly, and you'll be entered into his lucky draw to win the coin.
