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.

Fortunately the xkcd urls are easy enough to do a quick binary search, and now i think i have an answer. Xkcd first caught my attention with [http://xkcd.com/256/ Online Communities] and i think i started reading regularly from [http://xkcd.com/303/ Compiling] onwards. So i guess around about mid-2007.

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.

🇩🇰 Jeg kan også snakke dansk! 🇩🇰

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.

Sermoa achieved level 3 of the Minesweeper Geohash achievement
by visiting coordinates in Swindon, United Kingdom and 3 of the surrounding graticules.
