Goldcont The Geohash is right in the middle of the university of Warwick campus, one too good to miss.
Thursday 2008-08-14
joehardflec is heading to this one in South Wigston (outside a school) if the weather holds out. Anyone else coming?
- Sorry, a bit too far south to make on my lunch break, good luck! SminkyBazzA 11:10, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Sunday 2008-07-27
waq will be there in the morning. Text me if you wish me to come at a particular time. Details on contact page. Since it's actually in a field, I will most probably get as far as Seymour Road (which is the closest road to the geohash.)
Sunday 2008-06-22
This weekend's spot is right on the edge of a golf course so I'm going to this one around 2.30 today as its only a short distance from Loughborough. Text me if you fancy meeting up, details on my page. Looks like there's a pub nearby... SminkyBazzA 12:28, 22 June 2008 (UTC) The page for this spot can be found here: 2008-06-22 52 -1. The page will eventually include photos... Bluecont
- And now it does, more to come though I believe SminkyBazzA 21:29, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
Friday 2008-06-20
Probably in a private garden in a housing estate at the edge of Keyworth - might take a wander down there late afternoon/early evening since it's just round the corner really. Albert Herring 12:26, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Update: dropped by around 19:00; it is much as I feared.
Thursday 2008-06-12
Since it's close to Loughborough, should we go? Give me a shout if you are going, I'm not walking 7 miles (that's from University) alone each way. Contact info on user page. Waq 15:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Seems a shame not to, seeing as its probably quite accessible too. I'll contact you direct. Anyone else up for it? I can leave Loughborough just before 7pm, but will catch up on my bike if people leave earlier.SminkyBazzA 16:08, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Possibly... I'll try to make it if possible though I'm not sure what my plans are yet PodRED 17:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'll be there Becky 13:26, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Sunday 2008-06-08
Is that a field or a really big garden?
- I'm gonna guess its private property, but trying bringing cake to impress the owners who probably live in one of those houses. Good luck!
I brought chocolate biscuits but didn't see anyone to share them with. Hopefully next week will be closer to a town. I went by car, since going by bus would have taken until Tuesday :S - Becky
Sunday 2008-05-25
Just noticed it'll be a bit of a rare one, it is right next to nottingham uni.
