Wiebe Nijland started geohashing end 2011 and is based in the Vancouver graticule, but will also visit as many other graticules as possible. I try to geohash as much as possible by bike, but will also drive out with my van especially if I can combine reaching the coordinates with some awesome camping trip or other activities.
Geohashing Equipment
- Focus Mares Disk 2010, my beloved road/cyclocross Bike (2*10 speed, 105 Compact)
- Teal VW eurovan '92, rides seven and/or sleeps two.
- Garmin etrex Legend H GPS
- Recta+ DS50 Compass
- Camera Gear (lots of it..., o.a. 5DmkII and Infrared converted 550D (T2i) )
- My trusted Dutch Clogs (wooden shoes), I don't bring them always but consider them my hashcot.
Graticules
the graticules I geohashed and the number of expeditions in each of them.
- Vancouver, British Columbia: 4 - My current Home Graticule
- Surrey, British Columbia: 1
- Victoria, British Columbia: 1
- Whistler, British Columbia: 3 - Virgin
- Lake Cowichan, British Columbia: 1 - Virgin
- Utrecht, Netherlands: 0 - Old home graticule and Puppethash
Goals
- Attend a true XKCD Saturday Meetup
- Complete the Vancouver, BC minesweeper (now 4/8)
- Water Geohash
- Underwater scuba Geohash !!
- Globalhash
- Camping geohash
- MNB geohash
- No batteries geohash
there are many more, once some of my wishes get fulfilled I will add new ones. Finally I would sure like to hash all graticules of the World, but that may be a little ambitious.
