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.

Comments |
According to legend, Julietta and her
three-year old Cyricus had fled to avoid persecution for her
beliefs as they had been identified as Christians. Julietta was
tortured, and her three year old son, was killed by being thrown
down some steps. Julietta did not weep. In anger, the governor then
decreed that Julietta’s sides should be ripped apart with
hooks, and then she was beheaded. Her body, along with that of
Cyricus, was flung outside the city, on the heap of bodies
belonging to criminals, but the two maids rescued the corpses of
the mother and child and buried them in a nearby field. There are a
few churches in England dedicated to Saint Cyricus (Quiricus)and
Saint Julietta,in Cornwall, they can be found in the villages of
Luxulyan and St Veep.
Please be careful when retrieving this cache, don't want you or the
cache disappearing down the bank.
