Another cache in a National Numbered Series of Letterbox Hybrid caches, placed to mark one of a diminishing number of post boxes placed in
Queen Victoria's reign and still in use for regular collections by Royal Mail.
A few simple guidelines apply to the series
(subject to amendment):
- The post box must carry the Royal Cipher of Queen Victoria (in whatever format)
- The box must have regular collections by Royal Mail
- The box must be in the British Isles (so United Kingdom and adjoining Crown Dependencies).
- Any style or colour of box are valid as long as the above all apply
The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates.
To find the cache take the date at the end of the post box number as ABCDEFGH and apply the following formula
N52 49.C (H+E) A E001 23.F G (B+1)
Please do NOT remove the stamp it is NOT a swapable item.
Please ensure the cache is re-covered well as this is a high muggle area.
If you know of an eligible post box and would like to add to this series, please apply to Team Hippo for a series number, giving the following:
- Location as in place name (and street if applicable)
- Location in Lat Long format (DD MM.MMM)
- Postbox number
Please note that featured post boxes should comply with the guidelines above. Caches should be Letterbox Hybrid type (and therefore contain a LB stamp), whether placed at the published co-ords, or a simple offset multi, or multi-stage multi, or more of a puzzle style format.
