This event is available from now until the end of April 2012.

For the fourth year in a row, some good friends of the Plymouth Branch are again preparing a charity walk specifically in aid of JST. These charity walks are designed as a circular walk, suitable for families, with between 12 and 20 special Letterboxes to find. This year’s theme is Lighthouses. The Letterboxes will be on the Moor for 6 months before being taken off. They are available now, so please go ahead and join in, as soon as you can.

For those of you who don’t know what letterboxing is, it’s like a Treasure Hunt, but for adults as well as children! 

A letterbox is a small box hidden in a particular place on Dartmoor, for which clues to its location are provided. You can prove you have been there by signing the visitors book inside. It is a very entertaining way to explore regions of Dartmoor, and is a pastime that can be enjoyed by absolutely anyone. It is the searching for the boxes, and the walking in fantastic scenery that appeals to people, as well as the sense of achievement from finding that elusive box.

Clue sheets can be obtained from Alan Puddicombe, 27 Longlands Drive, Heybrook Bay, Plymouth PL9 0BL. They are £2.50, with all the proceeds going to JST. Nearly £1500 has been raised so far by selling clue sheets for the previous walks.

Happy hunting!
