The Tempest
Placed 16 August 2002
by "The Four Brothers"
Located in West Penwith, Cornwall, United Kingdom
Nearest town - Penzance
Clues:
Take a transatlantic flight to LHR, followed by the Heathrow Express to
Paddington Station, followed by the Cornish Riviera to the end of the line
(Penzance). Find Pedn-men-an-mere on the South West Coast Path.
At the National Trust sign for "Rospletha Cliffs", sight 150 degrees and
walk 57 paces to a concrete slab and a rusted iron structure (the remains of
a snooping station to find out what Marconi was doing on the Lizard). From
the middle of the concrete slab, sight 120 degrees and walk 52 paces to a
cluster of large rocks. Underneath the face which looks at "the Logan Rock"
you will find The Tempest.
Please be discreet since the area is well-travelled. The box needs to be
securely wedged and stowed away in order to survive the mighty gales that
roar in from the Atlantic Ocean.

When someone asked the other day if we would all be willing to pay a small fee to find a letter box, I think most of us assumed that it would just be a couple of dollars. After checking on the cost of a trans Atlantic flight, I think that that fee is just a hair over what I would be willing to pay at this time. Thanks for the post though.
Happy Boxing,

I'd like to think that someday I might go find the Tempest
letterbox. I have been to England twice but never to Penzance. Here
is an excuse to travel a bit farther!
