It's Finally Here!
Baker's Dozen Headed for the Moors!
After 12 months of planning, our much-awaited trip is finally here!
We leave on British Air on Friday at 8pm and arrive in Heathrow at 8am Saturday and will hit the ground running. After procurring our 2 minivans and car, we begin our 3.5 hour ride to Dartmoor National Park and the Langstone Manor Holiday Park, where we break up into groups in 2 cottages and an apartment. Letterboxing will include the 150 year old Cranmere Pool letterbox, where it all began! There will be a group of letterboxers meeting us Sunday morning on our first full day out and a group later in a pub for a mini-gathering. Monday morning brings our new friends, Louise and Chris Donovan as they join us for 2 full days of letterboxing. Tuesday night is a special surprise for the group that we will divulge when we return.
After 4 nights and days on the moors, we head to London via Stonehenge and the Avebury antiquities route on Wednesday morning. Our trip ends with 3 nights in London as we tour the city, attend a play, and even do a few of those urban boxes I've been talking about all year. We depart Heathrow Saturday evening and return home at JFK on Saturday evening.
During this time, there will be no more posting to this website unless there are some real important events to report! Stay tuned for a complete diary of our trip, with commentary, pictures and a little gossip, when we return.
In the meantime, be good to each other
and ...............
Just have fun and get out there & box!!!
