Enjoy yr utube docs immensely Luke, gr8 work! The letterbox on the Pinnacles (about 15.40) is the weather observation point with thermometers etc. All Forests Commission (etcetc) had same at their yards/work area.
Haha, yes, you are no doubt correct. When I passed it many years ago, there was a sign stating 'Mail' probably put there as a joke. From then on I always referred to it as a letter box knowing full well it was probably used for something else. I liked the thought of the lookout having a mail delivery.

Hi Luke, great video of the area. I think your letterbox on one of the shots with the tower is one of the weather station boxes?
