[[2015-11-08 52 -2]] is a few hundred metres from Stone railway station, which [[User:Tongs/B|Tongs/B]] will be passing throug. Possible time, between 2pm and 3.30pm. ''Update:'' It's hard to make out from Google Maps Street View whether this is someone's back garden or not. I think it probably is, so I'm not sure this is going to work. Can any more experienced geohashers determine whether [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=52.905347,-2.158697 this] is a field or a garden?

The Shrewsbury graticule is at latitude 52, longitude -2. It is in the United Kingdom and covers most of Shropshire, as well as large parts of Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire. It also encompasses Wolverhampton and the most westerly extents of Birmingham. Near Wrexham and along the western edge, bits of Wales overlap into this graticule.

Local Geohashers

  • Kentan is on the easternmost edge of the graticule, and will try to attend hashes on weekends and during the holidays.
  • Ollie lives in Malvern. Happy to take the train/buses. Have a bike for local (10mile radius?) ones. Possibly have a car soon. Will try and make any on the weekend!
