Letterboxing Rubber Stamp Designs

I've taken up a new hobby: letterboxing. Letterboxing involves locating boxes placed by other people using map coordinates and clues; the boxes contain a rubber stamp.  When you find the rubber stamp, you stamp it in your book. The hobby requires a lot of walking and map-reading skills. It's a great way to get exercise and to find some unique rubber stamp artwork.

I went to Dartmoor, the birthplace of letterboxing, to begin my search for these rubber stamps. Most of the ones I discovered were found in pubs because clues to letterboxes are hard to come by due to vandalism. (Next time I visit Dartmoor, I will send off for a couple of charity walk clue sheets.)

Some of the stamps that I located are beautifully designed.  Each is its own work of art. Below are scans of some of the nicer stamps that I have collected on my journey.
