Hi All
Any idea how many moving boxes there are up on our sacred moor?

Hi Steve, I don't think all moving boxes are listed but in the catalogue there are around 300 moving boxes listed, weather or not all are still in existance remains to be seen as there isn't a way of keeping track of them without finders emailing the owners from time to time.

Re Travelling Boxes
Hi
Thanx Dizzy for the info. Have you come across many travelling boxes as we have only seen 3 or 4 in 20 years. They made very interesting reading seeing where they have travelled across the moor.

Re: Re Travelling Boxes
I havn't personally, to be honest with you over the 15 years or so that I've been letterboxing I've only come across maybe three moving boxes so far. I suppose we can all sometime find a moving box but may not know what it is. Sadly some may not be obvious i.e by the stamp design and info in the book (if still there).suzley wrote:Hi

I've got an American cuckoo (aka hitchhiker or moving box) that was sent for me to put on the moor. haven't had a chance yet (living 400 odd miles away doesn't help) and I'm wary of where to place it given the box thief. If anyone wants to place it in a safe spot, then pm me your address and I'll post it down.
Plenty of cuckoos in North Yorkshire, including a cuckoo nest where lots of the cuckoo stamps can be found and then moved on.
