It has been a long time since I last hit Dartmoor for a spot of letterboxing. I last went on 24th April last year :cry:
How long has it been for the rest of you?

July 30th. 15 boxes found around Eastern Whittaburrow, Quickbeam Hill and Middle Brook.
I had to suffer the heavy, frequent showers too - i've never had wet feet like it!! Time for some new waterproof socks me thinks!

Spring meet last year... :cry:
The ever rising cost of everything and no pay rise to cover the excesses and Little Chef kicking something out of their roadside places.
I know I was down in April, but never had the time to actually get out

Went a couple of weeks ago after 3 years off for good behaviour!
Walked up to Cranmere Pool from Belstone with a friend. We weren't really looking for any boxes, though we literally stumbled across a couple on Belstone Tor which got me to 250 (which is nice). Getting Cranmere Pool on his first outing made his day. I think I'll be heading back to Belstone & Winter Tors and have a proper boxing day soon. Seems like the place to go, judging by previous comments.

Dear oh dear :?
I still haven't returned since I started this thread. I'm hoping to rectify that in the next week or two. Are the catalogues still available from Sylvia?

You really should visit more often. That is a very long break from the moors! Yes - the catalogues still come from Sylvia.
I hope to be on the moors tomorrow. Its been six weeks, and I'm missing the moor!
