Getting back into letterboxing

Hi all I am trying to get back into letterboxing after a 5 year break. When I stopped a few years ago there we're so many missing boxes that it was very frustrating, can anybody tell me if this is still a problem or have the box thieves got fed up and left the moor alone. Can anyone give me some goo...

I too have found a load of these, really annoys me, if I want to find religion I will do it for myself without someone forcing it down my throat. Also when you open the pill pots these tend to fly out in the wind, so to avoid littering you have to chase after them.

I forgot to say that there were also quite a few bannedword box size cardboard boxes printed on the outside that the contents were 12 rounds of ammunition.

Willsworthy range

Does any body know who I should contact to complain to the army about the trash that I found up on Nat Tor today whilst letterboxing. It was disgusting, I thought they are supposed to cause as little impact to the moor as possible. There were two big areas where the turf had been cut back, I assume ...

Thank you
I chipped away the melted plastic and dug out the stamp amazingly despite the melted and burnt plastic the stamp is actually fine, the backing is wood and is not even charred. If I can get it back to them they can put it out again.
Thanks

Thanks for the advice, I did find a couple of them when I was out there, did not think much about it and then I found the one with the moon and the wolf head on it, being into wolves I thought I have got to get the rest of them.

I'm finding Google Maps useful, there is often enough detail to see tracks over the Moor which may not be obviouis on the ground and which can affect the route I choose. I have used Google Earth, it is excellent for zooming in and following tracks to different places. It has proved useful in shorte...

I do have one but I am aways reluctant to ask if someone else has one, I guess because I have not found it, it sort of feels like cheating.
