Bob's Rocks

ABOUT BOB'S ROCKS

Young Bob is a rescue pup from a litter of 8 who was put up for adoption at NAWT(Cornwall). He came home with me aged 14 weeks, and so the training of a loopy lurcher began......The training was going well and it was time to take Bob on a road trip up to Dartmoor and start the next stage of his training....sniffing out letterboxes, the 'Boss's geeky hobby!!! ....no not the big red ones you put your post in.. Letterboxing is an outdoor hobby that combines elements of orienteering, art, and puzzle solving. Letterboxers hide small, weatherproof boxes in publicly accessible places (like parks) and distribute clues to finding the box in printed catalogues, on one of several web sites, or by word of mouth. Individual letterboxes contain a notebook and a rubber stamp, preferably hand carved or custom made. Finders make an imprint of the letterbox's stamp in their personal notebook, and leave an impression of their personal signature stamp on the letterbox's "visitors' book" or "logbook" — as proof of having found the box and letting other letterboxers know who has visited.

But oh no, the whole world was struck down by Covid and the country was put into lockdown with travel restrictions stopping all camping trips up to Dartmoor! several months past, then Christmas came and went....The Boss had cabin fever and thought it would be fun to paint a couple of rocks for people to find on their allowed daily exercise. and the rest, my friends is history lol.....Bobs rocks took off, with requests for bespoke rocks to be painted and to be put out 'to roam' in return for sponsorship money which is ALL donated to Bobs rescue centre, NAWT (Cornwall). These much needed funds are used to help them get through this crisis whilst the centre remains closed and they are unable to run their usual public charity events.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPONSOR A BOB'S ROCK

Would you like a Bob's Rock in honour of your friend, whether furry, fleshy or feathery? By sponsoring a rock you get to have your name (or any name) painted onto a rock, which is then randomly placed on one of Bob's daily 'lock down dog walks'... ready for the next person to come along... hopefully smile at their find, and then re-locate your rock somewhere else for another lucky person to find! There are 3 options for you to sponsor a rock..
