A small series of caches around Budleigh Salterton celebrating the red telephone boxes that we once had around the town. However this isnt the location of a red phone box, but the location of a AA sentry box but I thought I would include it to commemorate its existence as part of motoring history.
An important part of motoring history.
I am not sure but I think that this box was still around in my lifetime, I think I can picture it, but cannot find any photos on the internet. If a visiting cacher has one that they would be prepared to share, please message me!
Here is a list of the remaining boxes, care of the detail from another cache elswehere in the country.

Also in setting up this cache I looked back at my cache history for the box at the Halfway House. The cache was archived, so I have re-instated it.
