Rolled on into Rawtenstall.

Yep, still heading slowly in the right direction. Further south, further east.
I might be in bed by the time you get there, though.

Wandered over to Whitworth.

Ah, you have reached Rochdale. At least you are now in the right borough.
Keep flapping SW, but a bit slower now

Ubobo.R.O. · Post by **Ubobo.R.O.** » 23 Feb 2021 11:27

Currently in Broadley. The next town, Healey, is in Greater Manchester.

Bill H UK · Post by **Bill H UK** » 23 Feb 2021 11:36

I didn't say it wasn't in Greater Manchester.
Rochdale is Greater Manchester.
So continue SE.

I have to go now, but you're on track, so WHEN YE find it, leave us a nice
New box, Hey?

See what I did there? 2 clues!

Morning, Mr Puffin.
Newhey is correct, or very nearly. Tucked away by the reservoirs is a very nice pub which conceals a very scruffy letterbox.

Scratch that! On my way to Newhey.

Found the post box.
(a) not in Lancashire.
(b) not in Newhey or is it ?
(c) see below.

Or is it Higher Ogden. So many addresses !

Bill H UK · Post by **Bill H UK** » 23 Feb 2021 19:50

I thought our convention was that Greater Mcr and Merseyside were not Lancashire, but separate counties (which they are)?
I thought Newhey was a fair clue!

Anyway, nip in the Bull's Head for the Baton.

New challenge. Country, County, Town & Street please.

lesbootman · Post by **lesbootman** » 23 Feb 2021 20:46

That's a mysterious looking box puffin, not immediately obvious where it might be.

I was tempted to guess South Africa but will start with:

Australia ?

Queensland ?

It is a weird one - looks like it's on someone's roof!?!
And is that a pile of bin bags next to it?
I'll guess King's Cross..

Flap south east.

I think that is a motorcycle near the box.

Going back to the Sennen box, here is a close up of the box I took a few months ago

And an even more close up, of the plate on the front of the box, showing its number TR19 109

(I'd been waiting ages for one of the boxes I'd snapped to come up, missed the Appledore one completely and then his one came up!)

Anyway , sorry for the diversion and back to your guesses

Don't apologise- only too happy to have a post box enthusiast on board! Can you identify types etc.?

That is the post box but it is actually outside the Lloyds Wellness Centre in what street ?

Lime Street perhaps?

Lime it is. I left the baton in the garden bed.

You needn't have buried it quite so deep puffin, I had to get a metal detector to find it, hence I've been a while

Here's another box:

Warks

1 out of 3 Bill, England is correct.

Your destination is north and west from there (Nuneaton).

Given that it is the Lloyds of London building, I'd suggest minimising risk.
