Merrivale Antiquities & Mis Tor area

A couple were missing. The ones on site were Kes, Millie & Ryan and I think Amy (but it could have been Matthew - got a bit confused with so many gone). Just about all the WOM Christmas walk from The Bowler were gone.

How I started - Brinnie

I always carry a GPS with me, but only for emergencies. I think it takes the fun out of boxing if a machine tells you where to find the box. Yes it's great if you are chasing numbers, but I go out on most boxing days with a list of boxes to find, and come back with 25 - 40 using compass and map alon...

How we started - James & Jenny

Hi, I've been boxing on Dartmoor for years, but only this year did I go to Lundy. I took my husband there for his birthday (poor guy was terribly sea sick, as it was a really rough crossing, they only just sailed - some birthday present!) Also, I was on crutches after pulling a leg muscle badly out ...

Hi,
thanks for the kind sentiments, Nik. Just had a quick look at the mystery stamp section and solved a couple of the puzzles, so glad I could be of assistance! Oh yes, to the Lost Legionnaire - I'm female and not known for violent outbursts, so you should be O.K.!!

Hello again, didn't mean to sound grumpy, obviously we all need to make sure we're not passing clues on to the Pill Pot Pincher. If you want to get into the world of WOM clues, simply ring the number in the visitors book of any unregistered boxes you find, and most people will be willing to swap clu...

Hi, I have been boxer for over 15 years now, have over 21,000 boxes found, and NO I am not a box thief. I've many boxes out myself (over 80 in one series alone). If you ask nearly anyone on the WOM curcuit you'll find they have heard of me. Probably never met me, as I don't go to any of the weekly g...
