Moin!

I am Johannes from Oldenburg, Germany and work as a physicist at the Jade Hochschule. My nickname Beardygrade refers to the tardigrades (which I adore) and facial stubble (which is part of my ordinary setup). I am aware of geohashing since its inception but couldn't quite get my priorities sorted (job, family, you name it), so there where only a few attempts in the past which I didn't document here. UPDATE: after unearthing some photos, I was able to document the first expedition that I undertook together with Kerko. There still is one successful expedition that I cannot prove at the moment and at least one unsuccessful one. Perhaps one day I can document these at well.

I prefer to travel by bike, train, or on foot. I am located on the lower left corner of the Bremen, Germany graticule and will likely visit neighbouring graticules as well.
