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 on the fairway of one of the holes of the Mellor Townscliffe Golf Club, near the village of Mellor, just outside Stockport (map). If anyone makes this, it could well count as a Restricted Area Geohash, as it's not the sort of place you get to without paying for it.

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).
Sunday 1 June: In the Mersey estuary, just off Garston Docks (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)
