Note: This expedition used an old version of the Geohashing algorithm before the 30W Time Zone Rule was enacted.
About
On 21st May 2008, the day the algorithm was published, the geohash for Carlisle was a spot on the coast near Silverdale at 54.179467°, -2.861537°.
While Google maps shows this as being on land, it is actually in the treacherous sands of Morecambe Bay. The closest accessible location was a beach near small caravan park, visible on the aerial view.
Nick made a short video, available here.
