[[Category:Meetup in {{{lat}}} {{{lon}}}| ]]
This graticule has boundaries from 52° to 53° latitude, and 0° to 1° longitude and contains Cambridge, UK. The graticule from -1° to 0° longitude is also near to Cambridge, but, due to the symmetry about the prime meridian, will never provide locations closer to the centre of Cambridge.
Contents
Local Geohashers
- Slainveteran is bike powered, so will only be able to make it when the coordinates lie nearby Cambridge itself
- lilac is also bike powered, but might be prepared to cycle up to about ten miles from Cambridge for a Saturday location.
- Spanky is also bike powered from Cambridge, and generally will try to go on a Saturday. Limit of about 15 miles and prepared to take a train to get in range. Suggests: some cunning way of indicating who has visited a spot...?
- youpi is bike powered.
- JPD is bike powered as well. 16:00 is usually Not A Good Time, but will occasionally get there before that and leave a mark.
- Ax has a new bike and might try a long distance cycle ride if the weather is nice any time soon... and is occasionally car powered.
- Keeper is powered by caffeine and petrol; therefore, he can get most places.
- murphy is bike powered until his more petrol based bike is fixed, after which he can get most places.
- Granularman will most likely put in an appearance on 7 June, before he disappears to far-off graticules. He is powered by car and determination.
- TheCoop is bike powered from cambridge.
- MooUK is just beyond the southern boundary but might be convinced to make nearby meets, probably by four-wheeled infernal combusting methods.
- Stephen Turner is bike-powered too.

This week's location is in a field just off Manea Road (B1093) near March. Granularman and his sidekicks will be aiming to take the train to March, and cycle the 5-6 miles from there.
Spanky will likely do something similar. Trains get in to March at 15:35 and 16:35. Spanky will either be early or late. This is the way of things.
Spanky was late, getting there around 17.30. Saw nobody. The way of things was observed*. Did anybody else go? Couldn't find any markers.
*except by the GPS, which did a covert 'recalculation' and added 3 miles to the journey.
Granularman and co. were in the vicinity from about 16:45 to 17:15, enjoyed the Stone Age fort nearby, and left a small chalked epigram beside the road.
