Re: Newbie

Although the Dartmoor Letterbox catalogue does not list letterboxes by 'tors', it does list them according the their grid reference. This list can be found at the back of the catalogue.

Re: Some Missing Boxes

The Richard II box (p.75) is NOT the Richard II box that is on Peek Hill. The Peek Hill box is part of a Word Of Mouth series entitled Book Owls.
