Letterboxing

6000 letterboxes - where do you store them all - in a hangar?

Maybe Aphro engages in fisticuffs with letters.

I had to look this up - the reference to geocaching convinced me it was not just stealing people's letterboxes, or knocking them to the ground (which is what happens here) or stuffing people into letter boxes or doing the trainspotter thing and taking a photo. It is a regular activity, one I have never heard of, and I suspect few Kiwi's have, well described here.

I'm more perplexed now mysh - how does that differ from geocaching?

Cool hey!, been going since 1854 too, a whole new life of travelling possibilities
Good site myshkin but haven't read much past the intro.

#OP, so do they have like Letterbox conventions or Gymkhanas and that sort of stuff, maybe nudist colony boxes for nudists, and is there a rating system to give you more kudos for finding the more difficult ones, like say on the side of a mountain or for sailors, on some more remote islands?

Sounds like fun actually, and maybe even potential to have a cyber version - bury a box in a thread and have a register and clues branch, hmmm, PM to Andreas on way.

ATTTS.

Geocaching uses GPS, letterboxing doesnt as far as I can see.
Looks fun, but I cant find any reference to it happening in Australia (try 'letterboxing Australia' in google and you get some nice addresses of letterbox manufacturers....)

Googliing in NZ doesn't even do that - you come up with a site for signs to avoid junk mail in your letterbox (not even what we call our mailbox anyway, as a rule) and a few sites about aspect ratios and the like for TV's.
