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 Dominica
Cache Comments You are now close to the remains of Prideaux Castle (also known as Prideaux Warren, Prideaux War-Ring, or Prideaux Hillfort). It was an Iron Age hillfort at the top of the hill around N50 22.132 W004 43.829. It is sadly not accessible to the public.
Parking & Shops Parking located nearby in a layby just off the road at N50 22.110 W004 43.571
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.
