About

I live in Enschede, Netherlands, which is in the south east of N52 E6. Graticules I consider in general are N52 E6, N51 E6, N52 E7 or N51 E7. When I'm in for a big challenge I might go to graticules further away.

I use Geohashing as an excuse for cycling somewhere else then what were my "default" routes. I am aiming for London Edinburgh London, so longer trips are wanted. An early step would be a XKCD-100 by bike, and cycle back. I hope to do that in september.

My general means of transport is a recumbent bicycle by Nazca.
