Need to find this next im up north next week.

A postbox from Elizabeth I reign… Good luck :laughing:

It’s about 10 minutes from the meadows in central Edinburgh. 20 minutes from the castle

Lizzy 1st postboxes are very rare ill have you know and its very important historicaly. Deffo should be at least considered as a POI in game code.

I’ll keep an eye out for it in review.

I wonder if this has been discussed yet. I saw one of these while I was out today (but I was too busy tapping the screen fighting lucarios to check the cypher on it or check whether it was a live waypoint).
It has a little choo choo train with SCR on the side (which I believe is the adjacent station’s station code) :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I’ve also seen another one like this somewhere else. I wonder if it could be argued that they could be eligible because of the artistic aspect (the crochet hat is usually handmade by locals). On the other hand that makes it relatively easy to “knit” your own wayspot. Which sounds a lot cheaper and simpler than any of the other ways to get a wayspot near you :thinking:

Ah yarn bombing.
Fun. And I have seen some last a while, but not long in U.K. weather etc. I think they make a great additional photo, but wouldn’t suddenly make an ERII one eligible any more than taking a can of spray paint to it.

Well I found the CIIIR postbox, but it’s already a wayspot and not in PoGo or Ingress due to proximity to other wayspots…

Watching the olympics I’m wondering if the might paints some more gold?

Have we won anything yet? I haven’t been watching.

Talking to myself a bit, but I notice that the badly-attached name on the front says “ROYAL MAIL” and not “POST OFFICE”. They haven’t been owned by the Post Office for some time…

Had a postbox taken by ML, and after people saying it didn’t like postboxes I thought I’d have to resubmit but it got approved.

Remembered to take my King George V one off hold, so I’ll see if ML takes that.

Someone trying to get Lizzy boxes through? :joy:

If they are, they’re not targeting the right boxes as that’s clearly a Mars Bar from the reign of King George VI :joy:
