Harford Moor -boxes gone/destroyed

Every box (7) that I looked for last week with some children from school on Harford or Ugborough Moor had either been removed or destroyed as there were some broken pots - what a dissapointment, anyone have any information please?

I do agree in that it is the school of navigating and using a compass that I enjoy - not that we find many boxes, usually lots of luck involved! Each to their own - some go to enjoy walking a route on the moor and boxes just happen to be there, for others perhaps it's a numbers game? As long as you ...

Totally agree with you. Have had some even more dissapointing moments when I think I have come across a letterbox and find it is a bag of someone's rubbish stuffed in a hole. We can make a difference, there will always be ignorant people who do not realise the harm they cause. I will make a consciou...

Thankyou Sowerby Streaker, i have looked again onthe map - Ter Hill West Cross is not the grid ref I have and that is way out past Leftlake, not likely to be on this little walk. Maybe the grid ref in the letterbox book is incorrect? Then possibly you would be right about tghe Ter Hill West cross.

Trig letterboxes

I am sure I have seen reference to the letterboxes found near the trig points - but I cannot find where I have read the clues?
Any one please point me in the right direction?

I have not lost the plot - yet - Sue's cross No 10, grid ref 6482 5896 is really not near a cross?

I must be very out on the grid reference for Sue's Cross No 10, will get the book out and the map and have another look as I am completely in another area? No wonder I cannot find it!

After reading through the thread, the plot thickens, stupid question I know, but it has to be asked: Do 'sue's crosses' clues have a relationship to crosses within the area? Yes this series was put out in about 2003/4 as Word of Mouth, then put in the catalogue. All the boxes were from 'proper' Dar...

It may well have grid reference but this box is currently my 'bugbear' Once I have cracked this one - YIPPEEEE
I do not have a GPS just the map and compass combined with a natural ability of not being able to find boxes! :)

Difficult boxes

Does anyone else have specific boxes that defeat them? Mine at the moment is Sue's Crosses No. 10 - Driving me to distraction!
