[[Category:Meetup in {{{lat}}} {{{lon}}}| ]]

The Manchester graticule is at latitude 53, longitude -2. It contains, in no particular order:

  • Manchester
  • Chester
  • Liverpool
  • Preston
  • Bolton
  • Blackburn
  • Stockport
  • Macclesfield
  • Wigan

as well as numerous other built up areas, including the greater parts of the Stoke-on-Trent and Wrexham areas. Water geohashes are rare, but the graticule does contain the estuaries of the Mersey and Ribble rivers, as well as a small part of Morecambe Bay. Anyone wishing to go exploring these particular bodies of waters is generally advised against it. They're not particular safe places to go boating.
