    Geohashing expedition 2019-01-08 51 -1 (video)


    On the morning of my 38th birthday I set out on an expedition to the geohashpoint in my graticule as a diversion from my way to work: read my full hash log for details (or on the geohashing wiki). Inspired by a spot near the hashpoint, I also hid a geocache ("2019-01-08 51 -1, 09:19", โ€ฆ

    Geohashing near Winchester (2018-08-23 50 -1)


    My original plan to divert to the 2018-08-23 51 -1 hashpoint during my planned journey North-to-South along almost the entire length of the 51 -1 graticule was ruined somewhat by the hashpoint turning out be farther North than my starting point! So I changed plans and overshot my destination in order to visit the 50 โ€ฆ
