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.

Magnetic nano hidden on the historical Albert Quay where Queen Victoria and Prince Albert landed in September 1846.
This is another muggle-heavy area and you will have to use considerable stealth. Lean on the metal fence and gaze across to the pontoon and the moorings beyond. If you expect to fall in, the lifebelt is at your right hand. |
