Hi, I'm Saxbophone (talk). I can't actually remember how I found out about Geohashing, but I've been an enthusiastic reader of XKCD for a few years now, having been introduced to it through colleagues at work (it probably was one of said colleagues who introduced me to Geohashing).

I live in London and generally use a combination of public transport and walking to get to nearby-ish hashes.

• 0. 2018-06-09 51 -0 My very first attempted Geohash! —it was a Partial Success, the location was a private residence so I couldn't reach it, but came as close as I legally and unsuspiciously could.
