LETTTERBOXING. In 1854 a Dartmoor guide named James Perrott left a bottle containing his visiting card out in the wilds at Cranmere Pool, so that people who found it could contact him. In 1888 a tin box replaced the bottle and people left self-addressed post cards for other visitors to mail from their home towns. A log book was introduced in 1905 and two years later a rubber stamp was put in to prove that the cards were sent from Cranmere. Forty years later a second box was placed at Belstone Tor. After 122 years there were 15! The hobby stayed mainly on Dartmoor until 1998, when it started in America and then spread world-wide.
