Letterboxing Buddies on Holiday in Cornwall

After attending Ukusa and Sloppy Chops wedding outside of London, we headed to Cornwall, England where we stayed in small stone cottages.

Boxing Buddies: Blue Bunny, Trexx and Farley.

For those of you who don't know England well (me, before I left for this trip), Cornwall is at the bottom of the country. It is very desolute in some areas, but very pretty. Letterboxing in this area is completely different from any other place.

Letterboxing took us to some beautiful places we would never have seen otherwise. The buddies had an awesome time seeing the sights as we stamped in. They weren't so good at locating boxes.

Trexx travels around England

Laney Bug (in red) brings Boxing Buddy: Blue Bunny (from Hong Kong) to visit England. She meets up with Boxing Buddy: Farley (from West Virginia) who is being held by Candyland (in green).

Candyland takes the three, plus Trexx and Travel'n Turtle out boxing locally in Essex, England.

Letterboxing in England is very familiar, but also quite different. We didn't have to worry about Poison Ivy, but the berry brambles were everywhere!

Also we came across a few stiles (a wooden "staircase" used for humans to move from pasture to pasture without allowing the animals out). See Laney Bug climbing over one!

We visited Crowsheath Community Woodland and Crowsheath Wood Nature Preserve. The area around Ukusa's home, where we were staying was surrounded by parks and open land; very lovely and great for letterboxing!

This last picture is Travel'n Turtle retrieving one of her own letterboxes from the American Wildlife series that Ukusa had hidden. This one was "safe" from muggles hidden in a berry bramble!

Trexx meets JBBK and Doodle and Deedle Bug

Trexx and Blue Bunny meet JBBK and her son, visiting letterboxers driving through from Indiana to New York! We felt honored that they stopped long enough to meet up with us Northern Ohio boxers (Travel'n Turtle, Doodle and Deedle Bug and Laney Bug).

To the right is Doodle and Deedle Bug. Doodle holding Blue Bunny and Deedle holding Trexx in a manly football grip!

JBBK was thrilled to meet both boxing buddies as well as her son pictured with Laney Bug. Also present has her daughter who wasn't as thrilled about us boxers. :o)

Something is Different about Blue Bunny

We can't quite put our finger on it, but it seems that Blue Bunny has been having a bad allergic reaction to Butter Cups.

Can you figure out what her problem is?

A beautiful day in Grafton, Ohio

Trexx, Blue Bunny and Bumbles are joined by Kermit the Hermit Crab home for a short rest. He has since left home for another host!

The buddies are on the trail searching for Old Stomping Grounds. A lovely park and stamp!

Trexx takes the buddies on a Ohio adventure

Trexx takes Blue Bunny and Bumbles on a Northern Ohio adventure letterboxing. They saw beautiful scenery and braved poison ivy.

Laney Bug has finally decided putting ink on stamps can be fun and is enjoying stamping in for Blue Bunny.
From Grafton, to Parma, to Willowick and Newbury, the boxers hit all the exciting boxing trails.

Trexx takes Blue Bunny and Bumbles out in Ohio

Trexx loves to take visiting Boxing Buddies out boxing in the Spring in Ohio. Everything is verdant and so lush. This is a beautiful park, one of many, in Ohio. We were seeking a WOM box here.

Look carefully in the creek. Notice some of the rocks are actually ducks!
