http://bleaklow.com:80/2005/05/09/mount_skip_stamp.html As I was googling around to find the information for my last post on Bob and Len's letterbox, I noticed that all the sites mentioned something along these lines: These boxes normally contain a visitors' book and a rubber stamp. On finding the box, ... en Alan Burlison Sun, 27 Nov 2005 06:35:33 GMT Alan Burlison 2005-11-27T06:35:33Z en Alan Burlison http://bleaklow.com:80/ http://bleaklow.com:80/2005/05/09/mount_skip_stamp.html#comment1133073333000 Tried to find the letter box today, failed. The snow and frozen ground did not help. Will try again in better weather.

Is the syphon you located the other end of the one that comes out above Chew Brook west of wilderness?

I'm sure Bob will be pleased to hear that the directions work OK as well. When I put the stamp in the box I more-or-less followed the same route as you, except I headed in a straight line for the letterbox from Ogden - aren't GPSs wonderful ;-) On my way back I finally found the south-western end of the Chew Syphon pipeline tunnel - I've had several half-hearted attempts at looking for it over the years and somehow never managed to find it. As for the fence, is it old or new stuff? I do recollect seeing some posts and wire that were being taken out a while back. However if it is new I don't know what it is being used for, although the Rangers at Dovestones would be sure to know. And I'm glad you enjoy the blog, it's always nice to hear :-) Thu, 26 May 2005 09:07:55 GMT tag:bleaklow.com,2005-05-09:default/c/1115630886000/1117098475000 2005-05-26T09:07:55Z http://bleaklow.com:80/2005/05/09/mount_skip_stamp.html#comment1116757217000 Not sure if I am the first - but I used your stamp this afternoon and it produced a very good image! The Letterbox is a fine idea. I walked up from Tintwistle by the shooting cabins and followed the compass bearings to the spot. I carried on over Featherbed Moss and down to Chew Reservoir and back over Wilderness. Do you know what all the bundles of fence posts and rolls of fence wire are for that are neatly arranged just above the Chew Reservoir dam? All the best Alan PS I very much enjoy your weblog.
