The Old Gippy TB Hotel




LETTERBOXING


Letterboxing is an intriguing pastime combining artistic ability with delightful "treasure-hunts" in beautiful, scenic places that the whole family can enjoy. Participants seek out hidden letterboxes by following clues, and then record their discovery in their personal journal with the help of a rubber stamp that's part of the letterbox. In addition, letterboxers have their own personal stamps which they use to stamp into the letterbox's logbook.

The origin of letterboxing can be traced to Dartmoor, Devon, England in 1854. William Crossing in his Guide to Dartmoor states that a well known Dartmoor guide James Perrott placed a bottle for visiting cards at Cranmere Pool on the northern moor in 1854. From this hikers on the moors began to leave a letter or postcard inside a box along the trail (sometimes addressed to themselves, sometimes a friend or relative)—hence the name "letterboxing". The next person to discover the site would collect the postcards and post them.

When you arrive at GZ you will have to find and have to decipher the information that is posted here. Using your GPSr, navigate and find your way to something useful to your complexing problem.

After you have stamped and/or signed the log book, please return the something useful and place it back where you found it so the next finder can find it.

Please leave the Clip-lock bag, Log Book, Stamp & Pen in cache
