This graticule covers the parts of the United Kingdom from 51° to 52° latitude, and from -1° to -2° longitude. It is centred on the M4 corridor, contains the city of Oxford and the towns of Swindon and Basingstoke. It extends as far as Winchester and Salisbury in the south, Cirencester to the west, Chipping Norton to the north, and the outskirts of Reading (although not Reading town centre) to the east.

2009-10-02 51 -0 - an international meetup of 4 geohashers near Reading. It was actually in 51,-0 but on the -0.999 border so most of the time we were in Swindon graticule and we only crossed the border when we crossed the field to the geohash! :)
