thanks

thanks guys for the suggestions and tips and will bear in mind if the weather stays as it is. With regards the Norsworthy Bridge walk this is our favourite walk on the moors, and where we first experienced the beauty of both dartmoor and letterboxing. Our walk consists of parking at norsworthy bridg...

Suggestions for shady walks in the heat

I was wondering if any of you experienced letterboxers could help in this heat please. If this weather continues finding it a bit too hot with the kids to venture too far into the open moors at the moment. Can anyone advise on any river / wooded shortish walks that may be suitable for letterboxing i...

Smeardon Down - Obsessed by Rocks 08? & More

Little Combe Tor & Smeardon Down

Took my kids to this area today and appears may be a little forgotten about tor (possibly not after this though!). Parking in the quarry car park and headed back to the bridal path down towards the river where a couple of boxes were found on the car park side. As we didn't know if we could cross the...
