- 15th March (Sunday): A friend of Benjw visited and took pictures on Saturday morning, a day early. Benjw then visited on Sunday, the correct day.
2008
- 15th December 2008 (Monday): Amersham Road, close to Chalfont and Latimer Rail Station. Kate cycled from Uxbridge (and was super excited about a Northern Hemisphere Geohash!)
- 7th June 2008 (Saturday): Thirteen people met between platforms 13 and 14 in Waterloo Station.
- 24th May 2008 (Saturday): A small wood near Dunsfold, a mile to the south-west; streetmap.co.uk shows a path going to the exact point! Four people met up.
