Overview

We will set out from Wheal Busy towards Chacewater before climbing up from the valley and heading to Bissoe.

After lunch we explore more of the mineral trails before returning to the cars.

Please bring a packed lunch and wear suitable footwear.

Dogs welcome but there is a very short section that crosses wasteland with some broken glass.
