Once you have gained the true coordinates, the walk can be done as one or in sections. Goonhilly Downs is pretty flat, however can be very wet and muddy in the winter. The majority of containers are placed very close to the old cart tracks or on bridleways, and all on Goonhilly downs, the ability to view satellite imaginary of the area will help. All containers are within camouflage bags and are large enough to hold geocoins and trackables. Swaps were placed in all containers. You will need a pen. Please ensure that all bags are closed securely and well tucked in/under. I hope you enjoy the area and maybe learn something about Goonhilly Downs. A prime Cornish heathland site on the Lizard peninsula, selected by the SPNR as 'worthy of preservation'. Goonhilly Downs is now designated a SSSI and is part of the wider Lizard National Nature Reserve. The area is dominated by the large satellite dishes of Goonhilly Satellite Earth Station. Cows and Ponies do roam the area, but tend to be in fenced off areas the majority of the time. If you lucky / unlucky you may also see adders in the summer months. Heathland plants including heather and orchids grow freely on Goonhilly Downs and animal and bird life is plentiful so enjoy and see what you can spot. Many thanks to Gazooks for the idea.
