Dartmoor Letterboxing

Great to have you here! :D The following info (posted on Facebook last month) might be interest to you... Alas, it'll be the closest to a charity Letterbox stroll around Bellever currently - at least until the end of March, when the Summer charity walks are launched (no details released on those yet...

With regards the advert for my Caves & Tunnels Of Dartmoor walk above, please note this amendment:

Cheques for £2.50 should instead be made payable to Kari Bettoney - who owns and runs Mid Devon Bat Rescue.

Many thanks for your support!

I panicked when I saw the subject title: I wasn't aware of a Times article too!! I think its far too soon to say that this news article will make things worse. I have no idea if geocaches suffer as much theft as Letterboxes. Perhaps we'll see an article about this in the morning. Maybe in another pa...

I totally agree with all that Gaffer2 said. It is worth noting that the world has turned - in every way - since those old clues were issued. Due to planet Earth's molten core, the bearings will all be between 4 and 5 degrees different now. That's if they were accurate to start with! Speaking from ex...

I see that someone (helicopter902, if you know them!) is auctioning off a substantial circa 1990 Letterbox stamp collection on Ebay. It appears a new selection goes online each week. A starting price, per stamp, is 99p + 70p postage, if you're tempted. Have a look at the range - there are some class...

Welcome to the site Claire! Its great to hear about new Dartmoor Letterboxers. The Meet traditionally begins at 10am on Clock Change Sundays. It is held at Lee Moor Village Hall (approx Grid Reference 572 618). The venue postcode & other info is on the http://www.dartmoorletterboxing.org homepag...

Hi Emma

For everyone's benefit: which season/years are your catalogues from?

Cheers!

Hi Greenview. A fascinating read! I found Snowdon Snowman on September 1st 1991, but the Letterbox has always stuck in my mind as a constant on that hill. I'm delighted to hear it is still there.

Of course! Many thanks, Mo!!

I can only echo the previous comments. Thanks to Simon, Nik and Tom for sorting all this out. I personally can't wait to see the exciting changes and updates!

Not a fan of this idea how would it operate?

Well, perhaps a couple of special edition Letterboxing updates might be required. Prior, with Letterboxing rules reiterated, and after - with clues. It's just an idea about how we can encourage involvement, participation, and more boxes sited.

I have just learnt this day existed! I'm prepared to be shot down in flames, but, is this something we could adopt - with 100 Club backing of course - to boost participation in the hobby on Dartmoor? For "International", currently read North America. http://www.atlasquest.com/press/plantab...

A unique chance to find two copies of Mike Brown's book for sale together at Amazon.co.uk at the mo. Including a very rare opportunity to buy a good condition Gazetteer and "1998 supplement" too, although no details on what this supplement contains. This is the link: http://www.amazon.co.u...

A very good point well made, Mr Fox. If you sold your walk at £5, would you sell 50% of your clues? (Probably). If you sold your clues at £3, would you only sell half of them? (Probably not that many, but a 50p price hike can only afford a 15% drop in sales before your net gain is wiped out) That is...
