Me on my first geovisit.

Ok, hi!
I'm (pretty obvious) Chiropter and I was dragged into geohashing by Amras (well, I kinda dragged him into it too). It was after reading all the xkcd comics and since we're students ICT we liked those a lot.
Then some friend (he didn't signed up yet, but we're trying to convince him) told us that there were people who actually were geohashing. I didn't believed it, but this site proved otherwise. And since Amras has and can drive a car we'll try to reach some points.
I'm new on these wiki-based pages, so any help is welcome (thanks already to Robyn) and correct me if my English is really too bad.

Amras says that I deserved the abduction achievement by taking him to my house, but the description says: "a complete stranger".

Still hoping for an endurance (maybe during Summer Holidays...), couch potato or something alike. There is a possibility on Walk Geohash if it is not too far (near Antwerp (and more preferrable south of it)). I also hope for an underground Geohash, but I realise that this could become a problem since a GPSreceiver simply won't receive when you're underground.
