Box found on site

I visited Sheeps Tor today, to look for the letterbox mentioned above. It was found on site and in excellent condition. It took a bit of finding. It is well hidden and in a good, dry site. The owners should be commended for siting a letterbox that is well kept and dry. Once upon a time all letterbox...

Without realising

I started letterboxing without realising I had. At my senior school I joined the A.T.C. (Air Training Corps), and during 1973-4 we had a long wee...

The Hounds of Boxerville

It is good to hear that you arrived safely back in the USA. For myself I would like to say it has been a pleasure sharing a few days of your holiday and collecting Dartmoor letterboxes with you. The ground was more challenging than your are all used to. You took it all in your stride and your determ...
