Undaunted postman delivers letter to Wexford lighthouse using map drawn on the envelope

A blogger’s latest attempt to confound An Post has been scuppered after a clued-in postman was able to deliver a letter to a Wexford lighthouse using just a map drawn on the envelope.

The staff at Hook Lighthouse — the world’s oldest intact and operational lighthouse — were surprised on Wednesday when they received a letter inside an A4 envelope with no written address on it.

The only instruction left by the sender was a hand-drawn map of the area with “Here please” written on an arrow pointing to an illustration of the lighthouse on the map.
