exploring

Intro

I'm fairly new to this game, since the start of 2010 in fact. I stumbled across the phenomenon while trawling through old xkcd cartoons, and the concept appealed to my adventure seeking inner geekiness. I'm keeping my eye out for the local, easily accessible hashes, and maybe go further afield on the weekends - usually dragging my partner JimmyNZ along, as that particular model comes with a GPS as well as petrol money. =)

Every morning I religiously check the geohash coordinates: the more time that passes, the more frustrated I become at Auckland's slender shape as a huge proportion of the hashes either end up in the surrounding ocean or in the surprisingly large quantity of bush that still remains in the area. If not, then the hash either lands a mile away from my current location, or in people's farms/lifestyle plots. Oh well, looks like this has become a long weekend hobby. Still, I'll keep looking and waiting, like us all, in anticipation of the perfect geohash!

One thing about me? Im a science geek, doing a PhD part time in chemistry. Another thing? On the weekends, I like to cook large amounts of food for Army boys and girls. One more thing? I love to explore the outdoors! Geohashing seems to be the perfect past time for me!
