Past Geohashes (24th - 27th May '08)
- Saturday 24: a farmer's field northwest of Crewe (map)
- Sunday 25: a field north of Barnoldswick (map).
- Monday 26: a field next to a forested area north east of Chorley (map). In all likelihood easy to reach from Chorley train station itself.
- Tuesday 27: Another field northwest of Crewe, very close to that on Saturday. (map).
- The new algorithm places the geohash inside the boundaries of a farm near Alsagers Bank, Stoke-on-Trent (map).
