Still catching up on previous trips, but only one more after this one. Did this trip at the end of September using a combination of clues from the websites listed. I can't remember which ones from the list I found, but the majority were ones found just using my eyes and looking for what was 'out of place'.
Decided to do another mad dash to Dartmoor while it was nice weather and the day would be long enough. On my own this time, but that was fine. Starting point was Hound Tor after a recommendation from the staff at the Rock Inn. Its a good starting point to be honest and there are plenty of boxes in the area. Many were around the base of the tor in the rocks and I'd found half a dozen before going into the main part of the tor. I expect there were a lot more that I didn't spot. The other advantage was that by about lunch time, the Hound of the Basket Meals van had arrived and not only did that provide some very nice food, but it also had it's own stamp and a number of 'found' stamps that people had found lying around and handed in there. Apparently it's the way things work there, so that stamps (some of them very nice ones) don't get totally lost.
Next on the list was a quick drive over to Bone Hill Rocks for a series of tors, covering Bell Tor, Chinkwell Tor and Honeybags Tor. Some good stamps were found on that route, mainly in the Chinkwell and Honeybags region. I suspect that there were even more than I found as time was getting the better of me and I had to head back quite some time before I had completed more than a cursory search of Honeybags. I found a few more on the way back, but by the end was glad to get to the car and rest a little before heading back.
