In the photo on the Tittesworth Reservoir website there is a picture of a goose. It looks like a Canadian goose. Is it? Are there Canadian geese in the UK? My US boxing partner wants to know and I wasn't sure what to tell her.

Quote Are there Canadian geese in the UK? Yes, there certainly are Canada geese in the UK. At "our" sailing lake in Wiltshire twenty or so nest there in the summer. And leave their "calling cards" all over the place! DM

Thank you for your responses! I havent been able to get on here recently, but that helps! (I am not in England anymore, but the next time I go, hopefully I will be able to pick up some boxes!) JWalk

And leave their "calling cards" all over the place! I take it these "calling cards" aren't the type you find in a plastic box with a rubber stamp?

LOL You dork!

Thanks Wildflower+2 for that sentiment. Everyone, this is my US bxing partner. She really does love me and she misses me terribly b/c she can't find anyone else to box with now that I am here. She was the one who originally ask the question about the...

Yes. Indeed. Miss boxin' with you Globetrotter! Love you! But, the real question is: How did these Canada Geese get there???

How did these Canada Geese get there??? They Floo! nw

Quote How did these Canada Geese get there??? They were introduced, probably sometime in the 19th century as an ornamental wildfowl. See the RSPB website http://www.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/birdguide/name/c/canadagoose/index.asp DM

Hi, I'm Lexi from Raleigh, North Carolina, United States - I'm in the process of planning my European vacation and I'm planning on visiting Dartmoor sometime during the first two weeks of May - From the small amount of research I have done and the limi...

dartmoor is about 5 hours driving from gatwick. I didn't see train tracks, but that doesn't mean there is no service. you don't get to buy the cluebook until you have 100 finds, although there are a few dartmoor boxes listed at AQ. cranmere pool is...

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 i...

We rented a car, but here is a place to stay. http://www.atlasquest.com/lboxes/showboxinfo.html?gBoxId=9736 Don

DM -- thanks for the great link. THAT helps explain it.... Wildflower

I have planted a box at Tittesworth Reservoir. I have not gotten to the clues up yet. Will do soon. It is called " Super Loveable Letterbox" and is a Mothering Sunday Salute! I made my family box with me on Sunday in Stafford and then we went to Tittes...

I am trying to post my clues for this new box and I can't get the city or location (Leek, Tittesworth Reservoir) to validate. Any tips? I have contacted the Administator and am awaiting a reply.

For the City, enter Leek. For the state, enter England (provided it is England), and for the country enter UK. TG

For the City, enter Leek. For the state, enter England (provided it is England), and for the country enter UK. Oh, sure, that will work NOW... since I added Leek a few hours ago! :) -wassamatta_u, hoping he got the lat/lon correct...

Thanks for the tips and thanks for adding Leek to the database. It has worked and the clue is up for grabs! Go get 'em boxers!

I have to go to Burnley in few week's time so I might just take a detour off the M6 on my way. DM

hoping he got the lat/lon correct... I did check the mapquest link on the clue. It is not right on Leek, but close enough. This is not a hard place to find on the web or on a UK map of the area. Hopefully anyone going out there will do some of their o...

Quote I did check the mapquest link on the clue. It is not right on Leek, but close enough. Yeah, I thought that too. I would call it 53.106620, -2.026730 instead of 53.098864, -2.062648

Great to see some boxes going out in the Peak District. It was only last month that a friend asked me if there were any in that area. YT

Guess who I saw on the telly? Nice one UKUSA! DD

Yes we saw them too DD, so proud to know you UKUSA. WWL

LOL! HI, DD & WWL- Small world, eh!? :-D Now you know why I have the trailname I do! That was Sloppy Chops with me and Cosmo (the white bull terrier girl with us) helped find some of your boxes back in our September meet! Ukusa ^..^

I have been horribly inactive as far as letterboxing and AQ goes--although I did get out to Dartmoor to see the Moortorists last summer, which was great. I just wanted to check in and say howdy. I keep hoping to plant some boxes here in South Wales....

C: MY sister and brother-in-law just arrived in Israel and are hoping to find Mr. B still in business so they can get your LB at his shop (for us). Any idea what they might find? Tink of T-N-T

I think the box is still active. If you talk to them while they are out there, ask them if they can see if Baghdadi has an email addy I can contact him at. I've been hoping to order some carvings from him for a friend who used to live in Jerusalem an...

They literally just arrived within the past hour -- called us when they were through the airport (Tel Aviv). We expect tp speak with the several times so we will ask -- they will be in Jerusalem maybe at the beginning of next week -- I'll check the iti...
