I live in Winchester. I don't have a car so i'm reliant upon public transport, which makes geohashing much harder.

Hello! I'm aimee. I used to live in Winchester, UK, but in autumn 2018 i moved to [[55,12|Copenhagen]]. I am grateful to [[User:Macronencer|Macronencer]] for reminding me that geohashing is a thing, and excited that it may get me out visiting parts of Denmark that i wouldn't otherwise see.

Hello! I'm aimee. I used to live in Winchester, UK, but in autumn 2018 i moved to Copenhagen. I am grateful to Macronencer for reminding me that geohashing is a thing, and excited that it may get me out visiting parts of Denmark that i wouldn't otherwise see.

πŸ‡©πŸ‡° Jeg kan ogsΓ₯ snakke dansk! πŸ‡©πŸ‡°

Map of geohashes

a map of Sermoa's xkcd geohashes (green for coordinates reached; red for coordinates not reached)

I have been on 21 geohashes in 6 graticules and met 14 other geohashers.

Bored of the table geohashes

I cannot be arsed with the table anymore, but i still want to keep these links

People i have met whilst geohashing

Includes people i already knew and dragged/tricked along, plus new people i have met thanks to the adventures of geohashing!

Monica

Monica is my hashscot. Monica is short for mononucleosis, also known as the kissing disease. This makes sense when you know that monica is a giant microbe of the kissing disease!

More?
