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 Carantoc
Cache Comments Cache located on the public footpath from Fowey to Par. Please do NOT disturb the adjacent wall! If you coming from the Polkerris direction towards this cache as you ascend from the pub go straight ahead along the footpath, don't go up the steps.
Parking & Shops Parking is available at either Par Beach or Polkerris depending upon the direction selected. Both car parks operate summer charging.
HALO Website

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.
