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 Padarn
Cache Comments Small click and lock box hidden behind a small stone just off the Love Lane footpath. Please do not disturb any walls - there is no need. The yellow arrow points the way to the cache - return to the Saints Way when you have found the cache unless you want to carry on and do a diversion to grab GC1GP43 - a Nice Pic Nic Spot - about 600m away.
