I've now made a big move to the Manchester, United Kingdom graticule from my old Tucson, Arizona. It's different here!

While I had acquired a Citation of sorts back in the US, and even brought it with me here, before I could ever use it here, it was stolen, found, impounded by the police, supposedly gone over for evidence, and then destroyed for no good reason. So here I am again, in Citation Needed-land. At least Public transport geohash achievements are much easier here than in the US.

Expeditions

• 2008-11-02 32 -110 Land, Bicycle achievements
• 2008-11-03 32 -110 Consecutive Geohash achievement
• 2009-02-27 31 -110 This was the day I rode my motorcycle through a geohash on a dirt road, which would have entitled me to a Speed racer achievement and started me on Minesweeper Geohash. I lack evidence, but Wyle & RoadRunner were willing to allow it.
• 2017-11-18 53 -2 My first UK geohash, and Public transport geohash achievement and partial Globetrotters Geohash
• 2018-02-10 53 -2 A spot on the pavement just outside Picadilly Station
• 2018-09-09 53 -2 A spot on the pavement in a residential area of Mossley
• 2019-02-02 53 -2 In the kitchen of the Ikea restaurant, just out of reach to us mere civilians
• 2019-03-09 53 -2 The hash point was just 5 metres from a tram line.
• 2020-02-01 53 -2 The hash point is just half a mile from my house! And it's right in the park! The water park, that is… and it's right over the lake. How can I possibly reach it? Stay tuned to find out!
