I live in Winchester, but oddly enough i haven't yet managed to get to a geohash in my own graticule! I am most likely to be found geohashing in the [[50,-1|Southampton]], [[51,-1|Swindon]], [[50,-2|Weymouth]] or [[51,-0|London West]] graticules.

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.

by visiting coordinates in Swindon, United Kingdom and 3 of the surrounding graticules.
