Letterboxing / Boxing Day

My first-ever letterboxing adventure took place, appropriately enough, on Boxing Day.  It was the warmest and sunniest day of the long weekend.  

We started by climbing up a hill and crawling through the branches of a large dead tree on top.  

The first clue was not entirely accurate - the words on the rock are different from those described - but that just made it more rewarding when we finally managed to track down the hidden box.

The boxes are tupperware containers hidden from view, marked prominently with words such as "THIS IS NOT TRASH".  Inside each box is a sealed plastic bag which contains a logbook and a stamp.  

We looked though the log book - one of the prior visitors had this beautiful stamp.

Returning the box to its hiding place.

After the first two boxes, we lost the letterboxing trail, so we just wandered down for a walk on the beach.

Holey tree!

The rough and the smooth.

Natural fault.
