The Manchester graticule is at latitude 53, longitude -2. It contains Manchester, Liverpool, Preston and numerous other built up areas.

The geohash for this day lies in the sands of the River Mersey, just outside of Garston Docks, which is North West of Liverpool airport.(map). Could be impossible/very dangerous to reach.

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).
Saturday 31: Inside a small paddock near Alsagers Bank, Stoke-on-Trent (map).

2008-05-26 53 -2: Reached by M.Bryan at 4pm BST. (map)
2008-05-31 53 -2: Effectively reached by Tommy at 3:30pm BST. (map) Tommy 01:54, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
