Hi Lexi,

Dartmoor is about 250 miles from London. You could get there by train from Gatwick by going first to London (there's a train direct from the airport) then from London to either Exeter or Plymouth. You could then use buses to get to the moor itself. A couple of web sites might help:

http://www.trainline.co.uk for the trains and http://www.traveline.org.uk for the buses.

Hopefully someone who lives down that way might be able to give you some guidance on the buses.

Officially, the clues are only available to 100 club members, but I'm sure you could get a copy of at least some of them if you tell them you're on a visit from overseas. The contact details are on the 100 club website:

There are regular meets in Plymouth, but I'm afraid I don't know much more than that - again, hoperfully someone else will be able to help on that one.

There are also a couple of great little boxes on Box Hill which is near Gatwick (you can get a train to Dorking Deepdene station then walk to them).

Hope you have a great time.

We rented a car, but here is a place to stay.
