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 Nonna
Cache Comments

This is a short road section entering Golant, not too busy in my experience, but please be careful with children and dogs.

This small peach jar is a letterbox hybrid cache - there is a stamp in the box - please bring your own ink pad. Please do not remove the stamp.
