User:Jand

I live in Salisbury, England, in the Swindon graticule. I like hiking, and crazes started by webcomics, and I'm happy to have found something that brings the two together, (I also like singing and ferrets; I'm working on introducing more a capella singing and mustelids to geohashing).

I occasionally geohash in the company of my good friends Mad dog and NibblyG, both of whom I introduced to it.

More recently, I've started dragging my girlfriend along, having convinced her that this isn't a 'really silly thing to do'.

I want to train as a vet but I don't have any uni offers for next year, so I have plenty of time for geohashing work experience geohashing.
