About Me

20 / m / 55,-4

I'm from Glasgow, Scotland, so I'm in the 55,-4 graticule. I've looked at some previous geohashes and there have been many near me, including one only 53 metres from my house, but I only found out about geohashing in August 2023, roughly 6 years too late.

People I've Geohashed With

1. Daniel (x3)
