Hi there! I'm Jand I live in Salisbury, England, in the Swindon graticule and I'm 18. I like hiking, and crazes started by webcomics, and I'm happy to have found something that brings the two together, (I also like singing and ferrets; I'm working on introducing more a capella singing and mustelids to geohashing). I occasionally geohash in the company of my good friends Mad dog and NibblyG, both of whom I introduced to it, and, on more than one occasion, my parents, who provide transport until such a time as I pass my driving test. I want to train as a vet but am currently taking a gap year, so I have plenty of time for geohashing work experience geohashing. I currently work in a vet practice and for the RDA at Wilton. I'm currently waiting to see if my 2012-10-01 51 -1 hash earned me a Last Man Standing Achievement.
