This week's Saturday meetup location is just outside Soham. Remarkably, it appears to be exactly on a public footpath: or at least so close that I can't tell the difference on the 1:25000 OS map. The OS coordinates are TL 58050 74888. I assume the diagonal track crossing the field on Google Maps is the footpath.
 
 
Hsving said all that I'm not sure I'm going to make it, but maybe some people would like to meet up?

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.

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...?
  • 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.
  • jamespjh is bike powered and generally active in Cambridge only on weekdays. (Weekends I'm in London West graticule.)
  • Gooseh is bike powered, though willing to cycle within a 15 mile radius of Cambridge provided it's sunny. He can occasionally procure 4 wheeled petrol powered methods of transport.

The official location for this date was in Cottenham, the closest it's ever been to Cambridge. Although it was a Tuesday, JPD and Stephen Turner met at the nearest accessible point at 1pm. Stephen Turner went again at 7pm, in an attempt to meet lilac, but failed to meet up. Lilac arrived at 7.30pm with gw280.

This week's location was in a field just off Manea Road (B1093) near March. Granularman and his sidekicks were in the vicinity from about 16:45 to 17:15. Spanky was there from 17.30, thus failing to meet up with the other group.
