Living in the [[Birmingham East, United Kingdom]] graticule.

Have bike, will geohash. Subject to attractiveness of the location, the weather and general proximity to Leicester. Now armed with a Nexus 4, which takes away several excuses for not getting out more.

Tending to [[Bicycle_geohashes|hash by bicycle]] - count those kms!

I think this is an unusual event - a double Yerevan. There should be a ribbon for that.

According to the rules of the Admit One achievement, expeditions which ultimately fail still qualify, which is just as well, otherwise, we'd have a triple Yerevan on our hands.
