Saints way Wow what a whopper, largest cache I've ever found.
Just a stroll along the Saint's way to Prideaux and back past Charleston Leate to Luxulyan with Mr VJH and my Dad, such a shame that a lot of the Halo series has been Archived, 9km, 15,000 steps and 70 flights of stair equivalent, and 9 geocaches including 2 D/T rating of 5 as a bonus
Unfortunately I've lost my lovely purple pen on the walk/Hike so had to use one of the colourful crayons in the cache to sign my find

King Alfred Statue - Winchester Hampshire One of the most easily recognisable landmarks in Winchester is the striking statue of King Alfred the Great, which stands at the eastern end of The Broadway, close to the site of the city's medieval East Gate. The statue of a suitably heroic Alfred was designed by Hamo Thornycroft, R.A., and erected in 1899 to mark one thousand years since Alfred's death

The graveyard The Asylum's graveyard where 5,578 people are buried still remains, although now old and it would seem forgotten. Trees are now growing through the graves which has caused the headstones to crack & break.
The pauper’s graves in the older part of the cemetery were marked with a small metal cross with no names,as there were up to four paupers per grave.Covering each body was a little soil before the next body was laid on top.Sadly, many of these simple metal crosses have been stolen over the year

THE OLD TOWER - HAMPSHIRE The old tower which stands in the churchyard at St John the Baptist Church is all that remains of the first ‘Chapel of Ease’ built on this site in 1828. The chapel seated 272 parishioners but after 40 years the roof of the chapel began to leak and it was proposed that a new church (St John the Baptist) should be built in its place.
