Geocache Description:


Letterbox Cache 4 Upper Hutt

Take a pleasant stroll along the Hutt River Trail.

 

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 visitors' 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

A Regular sized Sistema container containing a smaller container with a stamp and logbook for "Letterboxers" and a Logbook in a plastic bag for "Geocachers"
