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

The Brighton graticule covers the part of the United Kingdom (UK) from 50° to 51° latitude, and from -1° to -0° longitude. It includes the towns of Chichester, Bognor Regis and many other places along the South coast. Unfortunately, only about 20% of this graticule is land, so most of the hash locations are in the sea; in this case the local custom for Saturday meetups is to get to the coast, as near to the hashpoint as possible.

There is now an active group of Geohashers based near Bognor Regis, who are now just waiting for an inland geohash to finally appear.
