User:Wijnland

Wiebe Nijland started geohashing end 2011 and is based in the Vancouver graticule, but will also visit as many other graticules as possible. I try to geohash as much as possible by bike, but will also drive out with my van especially if I can combine reaching the coordinates with some awesome camping trip or other activities.

Geohashing Equipment

• Focus Mares Disk 2010, my beloved road/cyclocross Bike (2*10 speed, 105 Compact)
• Teal VW eurovan '92, rides seven and/or sleeps two.
• Garmin etrex Legend H GPS
• Recta+ DS50 Compass
• Camera Gear (lots of it..., o.a. 5DmkII and Infrared converted 550D (T2i) )
• My trusted Dutch Clogs (wooden shoes), I don't bring them always but consider them my hashcot.

Graticules

the graticules I geohashed and the number of expeditions in each of them.

• Vancouver, British Columbia: 4 - My current Home Graticule
• Surrey, British Columbia: 1
• Victoria, British Columbia: 1
• Whistler, British Columbia: 1 - Virgin
• Lake Cowichan, British Columbia: 1 - Virgin

• Utrecht, Netherlands: 0 - Old home graticule and Puppethash

Goals

• Attend a true XKCD Saturday Meetup
• Complete the Vancouver, BC minesweeper (now 4/8)
• Water Geohash
• Underwater scuba Geohash !!
• Globalhash
• Camping geohash
• MNB geohash
• No batteries geohash

there are many more, once some of my wishes get fulfilled I will add new ones. Finally I would sure like to hash all graticules of the World, but that may be a little ambitious.
