Ed, not at a hashpoint sadly.

About

Ed lives in Swansea (in graticule 51, -3 with easy access to (the Welsh bit of) 51, -4). He doesn't own a GPS unit or a radio (or indeed any form of motorised transportation), so it's good old-fashioned printouts of Google maps and spotting local landmarks for him. If you see someone wandering around looking confused near a hashpoint, it's probably him - feel free to talk to him.

-Ed lives in [[wikipedia:Swansea|Swansea]] out of term (in graticule [[Cardiff, United Kingdom|51, -3]] with easy access to (the Welsh bit of) [[Barnstaple, United Kingdom|51, -4]]), and in [[wikipedia:Oxford|Oxford]] ([[Swindon, United Kingdom|51, -1]]) during University terms.
