Hello. My name is James. I live in the Glasgow graticule, and was the first man to reach a hashpoint in the 55 -4 area (and indeed any hashpoint in Scotland), less than one month after the cartoon was posted.
Expeditions
So far I have made it to three hashpoints:
- 1 - June 12th, 2008 at Patterton train station car park.
- 2 (almost exactly 27 months later) - September 11th, 2010 in the middle of Dumbarton Road in Bowling.
- 3 - October 30th, 2010 behind Langside College in Glasgow (fifteen minutes walk from my house).
