Bodmin Beating the Bounds of Bodmin

Beating the bounds is an ancient custom, which dates back before the Norman Conquest, and is still observed in some English and Welsh parishes today. Members of the local community walk the boundaries of the parish, led by the Parish Priest and the Town Mayor, who pray for protection for the lands, and share the knowledge of where the parish boundaries lay. In 1865 Mayor William Robert Hicks, revived the custom of ‘beating the bounds’, and this practice still takes place more or less every five years. The event concludes with a game of Cornish hurling, which is started by the Mayor of Bodmin who throws a silver ball into a body of water known as the "Salting Pool", near to Carminnow. This ‘Bodmin Bounds’ geocache series has been instigated to coincide with the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, and therefore has sixty caches in its series. The circular route has been slightly modified to take in legal rights of way, but still effectively follows the boundary of the Parish of Bodmin. The sixty caches are named after Mayors of Bodmin, from 1201 - 2012, and include all Mayors who have served during the sixty years of the Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, and also notable Mayors prior to that period. Full details of this list can be found on: Mayors of Bodmin
This series is divided into four quadrants to create a number of comfortable short walks or could be done in two halves, or if you are feeling really adventurous completed in one stretch (13.8 miles or 22.1 Km). In each quadrant you will find 11 traditional caches, 1 puzzle cache, 1 offset multi cache, 1 letterbox hybrid and 1 premium cache. The Bodmin Link and Link Plus series are created in the same way, but enables individuals to adapt the way they undertake the Quadrants by use of the links caches. We have created a website which has further information and some ideas on starting points or how to break the series up into family friendly sections. This website also provides information about the other caches we own. The website can be accessed by the “Related Web Page” link under the cache name at the top of this page or alternatively you can type the link in yourself: http://ynysva.moonfruit.com

Celtic Link		 The Celtic Link section of the series is designed to enable cachers to link across from the Bodmin Bounds series to the Halo series, thus linking the two series together. The Bodmin & Wenford Railway and Western Greyhound runs bus services allow several possiblies to develop your own route around both of these series. The Bodmin Bounds Celtic Link caches are named locations along the connecting route, and are on the edge of the original Bodmin Bounds series, yet link back into the series in two locations brining the series to 100 caches in total
