Dartmoor Letterboxing

Good story Bambam.. sure I have seen you in some caches.. The best days on Dartmoor for me is about 50/50 caching / letterboxing. Interesting info.. I'm Sure Simon will put me straight on caching numbers but I estimate approx 2000 caches on Dartmoor.. at the moment. As for letterboxing I have friend...

The Walkham Step box mentioned here was located on the upper reaches of the Walkham, almost at the head, RHS going upstream.

Hi WW that is brilliant info, Walkham Step was always one of my favourites as less known about than others, amazing that you have the original book. I haven't visited the letterbox since the 80s although I always keep an eye out when in the area, just in case. I enjoy finding long lost time capsules...

Thanks for getting in touch - nesty crew

Visited recently, pm me for clue..

Interesting, doesnt seem to have many takers..

Walkham Step, for sure, one of the first 20 boxes sited on the moor, but not included on the WH Smith letterbox leaflet. Very memorable use of an old fuse box... but who sited it there?? any idea ?

Pleased to say this stamp / book has been sent to its owner in Okehampton. Good news look forward to visting again out on the moor.

Does anyone know the current owner so I can contact to arrange return or adopt, looks like it hasn't been maintained since around 2002 many thanks (my records show I first found this box in 1979) I think ...

Hi love reading these threads as enjoying a return to the hobby after my long break, had some great walks already this year, Fur Tor NYD, then all up around Yes Tor & Dinger, and a third walk on Bodmin, all of which yielded some great letterboxes and dare I say it, geocaches. Looking forward to ...

Hi Everyone, seasons greetings and all that.. a couple of weeks ago I found a very nice stamp, wet damaged, no book and very well grown in, looks quite old. It was located near the zeal Tor 3/4 marker. Its called Spectral figure- Crockern Tor. So why was this here???? and how long had it been there?...
