Letterboxing on the Cornish Moors



Surrounded by cow pastures and brooding gray clouds the letterboxing on the moors was exotic fun. We had to find an Ordinance Survey map of the area (thank goodness Ukusa found one hanging in the laundry room at the place we were staying.) to locate this letterbox.
Fortunately we were on holiday and had plenty of time to hunt; we were not going home empty handed. Once we found the start to the clues Bob was our Uncle! :o) The boxing buddies had it easy by being carried. We had to pick up Laney Bug (the human child) at times due to heavy plant growth, but Badger (the black & white child) plowed through it all. He even got himself stuck in a stile at one point!
We had to do some heavy-duty wading to get to the final box resting spot, but it was well worth it. This was the most attractive spot we've stamped in to date!
Laney Bug, Travel'n Turtle, Ukusa and Badger getting inky fingers and paws!

Makes me want to go back!!! Badger's a bit embarrassed about getting his fat head stuck in a stile then later caught in between rocks when looking for the letterbox, so likely won't respond. Sloppy Chops enjoyed your blog but wants to put in the disclaimer that his hair normally looks better!
