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.
