Hashcot
I've decided to geohash with a small pink toy caterpillar named Hammersmith (after the London Underground line). Don't ask.
Aims
I've decided, quite randomly, that my long-term geohashing goal is to complete a Minesweeper Geohash achievement that includes both graticules that I've lived in, Cambridge and Sheffield. In order to achieve this (without buying a boat), I'll have to centre on the Northampton, United Kingdom graticule.
Expeditions
- 2012-10-14 51 0 (failed): In a field near Thurrock football ground, that had been fenced off to keep horses in (and, further, the field was partially flooded and the hashpoint was underwater)
- 2012-10-14 51 -0: In a park in southwest London, close to Chiswick Park tube station
- 2012-10-21 52 0: At the end of Teasel Close in Haverhill
