Go Go Globalhash!
- Finally -- a globalhash in the UK. But it's at completely the wrong end of the country for me. I'm almost tempted to go for it, though, but I just wouldn't have the time (or stamina) to make the required 1550km road trip. I don't think flights and a car rental would be feasible at short notice. And I'd have to actually get to the hash in the dark. And then be at work at 06:30 the following morning. Don't think it's going to happen. :-( -- Benjw 20:00, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

If someone doesn't get there the whole geohashing world will be disappointed with the UK.
