Geocache Description:

This cache takes it's name from one of my other caches, Three Twelfths of a cache GC1E91G
Ive had a mixture of reactions from people when I tell them that I placed this cache from “Very nice cache to threatening mortal harm (Well what do you expect for a difficulty level of 4)
I hope to follow on the same line with this cache. Enjoy

Parking can be found at the start location. The area you'll find yourself in is know by a few names, i.e. Tevellas Coombe or Cross Coombe, or Blue Hills.
To access the valley I would strongly suggest, if using a car is to go via the Wheal Kitty area of St Agnes.
There is another route in from the Perranporth airfield side of the valley, however if you choose to use this way you will run the risk of bits of your car falling off as you try and squeeze through some particularity narrow Sections (as in less than 2 metres or 6' in real money) YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

Mining and tin streaming has been an activity in and around Blue Hills for hundreds of years and the history of Cornish tin goes way back to around 2000BC. It is still carried out at Blue Hills Tin Streams which you will pass while doing this cache.
Blue Hills was actually several old tin mines, which were working up until 1780 on a water pump system, then later with steam power from 1810 to 1897.

The co-ords for the first stage are as you will see, right next to the road and parking area, so I would recommend watching out for muggles.
I would also recommend not trying to do this cahe on Easter Saturday as the place is normally swarming with people watching the Blue Hills trials.
You might need a pen and paper.
As in the first stage there are a few questions, with answers that will take the form of co-ords that you might like to answer before moving on to the next stage.
A small point is that I'm unsure how smart phones users with GPS apps will manage as phone signals are somewhat absent for most of the route.

Please note, DO NOT rip down hedges pull up stones or generally go around destroying everything. You'll run the risk of damaging the cache itself and spoiling yours and others enjoyment.
I've placed this cache in this location to bring people to this little known beautiful area so they can enjoy it, not destroy it. Thank you

Please note that the final stage of this cache is a micro so it has been listed so. Some other stages may be larger, so bring a pen.
Also if you are unable to find it would you please log a DNF. We wouldn't want people thinking it's easy would we?
