Hunting the gold postboxes

We visited a few more gold postboxes on our journey back home, managing to tick another eight off our list. We’ve now managed to visit all the Olympic postboxes on the UK mainland – the only two left on that list are Sark and the Isle of Man. We also reached the halfway point with the Paralympic postboxes. There are only two gold postboxes left within reasonable driving distance of home so as we have no immediate plans to visit the parts of the country with unvisited postboxes, it looks like the rest may have to wait until after Pod arrives.

Gold post box hunting

We’ve had a successful day hunting Olympic gold post boxes and have visited four today during our travels around East London, Essex and Bedfordshire. This brings our total of Olympic post boxes to sixty so there are just four more left on the list to visit. We’re unlikely to manage two of them in the foreseeable future (the ones on Isle of Man and Sark) but we are planning to visit the other two on the list later on this month. It’s given us a great excuse to visit parts of the country that we otherwise wouldn’t have gone to.

A good day for hunting gold postboxes

We’ve been having a day of golden postbox hunting around London and have managed to visit a record number of twelve postboxes in one day (eight Olympic ones and four Paralympic ones). Technically one wasn’t a golden postbox anymore as it had been repainted back to red but it was on our list so we have counted it and taken a photo. Just ten more Olympic ones left on the list to visit - we are doing well with our gold postbox challenge. There are still 29 Paralympic ones left to go but we’re counting those ones as bonus extras.
