Dartmoor Letterboxing

Thanks for that. I noticed that the box has been sorted out - new book in place.

Found the above box yesterday (by accident). The box had some water in it, and the book was completely soggy. It's not listed in the Spring catalogue, so I assume it is part of a charity walk.

Thanks for that! I was about to submit a post asking what was box 48917. I found it by chance. I see it is part of one of the new charity walks. Perhaps I should send them a donation since I have 'used' their stamp??

Hmm, okay lets try again with the URL: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20121026065214/http://www.mod.uk/NR/rdonlyres/EBF59C8C-8B0E-4349-B40B-B6566B658959/0/Okehampton_Artillery_Range_Observation_Posts.pdf Or use the 'rapidlibrary.com' URL and then just click on the 'The National Archives' ...

Further to your question though. The ministry of defence have a list available online in pdf format of their 'stuff' in Okehampton Military Range. Locate it here: http://94.236.30.88/NR/rdonlyres/EBF59C8C-8B0E-4349-B40B-B6566B658959/0/Okehampton_Artillery_Range_Observation_Posts.pdf Thanks for this...

Box number 28 - 'Belstone' - is still listed in the catalogue.

Good for you on reinstating some of these old boxes though

Was this an actual fire or swaling?

Not sure why this one gives a grid ref but then says location unknown!

Hi, I have a list from No.1 to the latest box. I do have a couple of empty numbers and some numbers that were never used and numbers for boxes that were numbered twice. Noddy I'm curious as to how you obtained such a list? And why some numbers were not used. Ironically I was thinking the other day ...

Thanks for the replies, they will help a lot

Hello, The OS stopped marking the Army Observation Posts (OPs) on their maps years ago. I thought I had kept an old map with them still marked on, apparently I did not :( I noticed a clue in the new catalogue that mentioned (I think!) OP16. However, I have no idea where OP16 is or indeed (almost) an...

Hello, I feel that this may have been asked before, albeit a long time ago, but does anyone have a list of the letterboxes from 1 to 100 or some part of it? I imagine quite a few of them are no longer maintained at all, and no doubt gone, but I was thinking it might be nice (?) to try and get round ...

Tried it - no luck.

I was trying to avoid having knots anywhere.

Hi,

I want to replace the length of cord on my compass with something longer. I gather the cord is generally 'mini paracord' or 'nylon tether cord'. However I can't seem to find anywhere to buy it from. Does anyone know where I might get some?

John.
