This graticule has boundaries from 52° to 53° latitude, and 0° to 1° longitude and contains Cambridge, UK. The graticule from -1° to 0° longitude is also near to Cambridge, but, due to the symmetry about the prime meridian, will never provide locations closer to the centre of Cambridge.

Local Geohashers

  • Slainveteran is bike powered, so will only be able to make it when the coordinates lie nearby Cambridge itself
  • lilac is also bike powered, but might be prepared to cycle up to about ten miles from Cambridge for a Saturday location.
  • Spanky is also bike powered from Cambridge, and generally will try to go on a Saturday. Limit of about 15 miles and prepared to take a train to get in range. Suggests: some cunning way of indicating who has visited a spot...?
  • JPD is bike powered as well. 16:00 is usually Not A Good Time, but will occasionally get there before that and leave a mark.
  • Ax has a new bike and might try a long distance cycle ride if the weather is nice any time soon... and is occasionally car powered.
  • Keeper is powered by caffeine and petrol; therefore, he can get most places.
  • murphy is bike powered until his more petrol based bike is fixed, after which he can get most places.
  • Granularman will most likely put in an appearance on 7 June, before he disappears to far-off graticules. He is powered by car and determination.
  • TheCoop is bike powered from cambridge.
  • MooUK is just beyond the southern boundary but might be convinced to make nearby meets, probably by four-wheeled infernal combusting methods.
  • Stephen Turner is bike-powered too.

The official location for 17/6 is, I think, the closest it's ever been to Cambridge. (It's also very close to my workplace in Cottenham). I know it's a Tuesday, but is anyone up for a meetup on the closest bit of road? I think we should be able to get about 200m away. Lunchtime would probably be best for me, but I'm open to other times. Stephen Turner 15:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Given the nice long days this time of year, how about an evening meetup? That should give us longer to get there from our respective jobs / layabout lifestyles, and allow more time for socializing. 7pm? lilac 19:49, 16 June 2008

If it's going to be in the evening, maybe 8pm would be even better to allow time for eating first. Or else 6.30pm or 7pm followed by curry? — there's a reasonable curry house in Cottenham. Stephen Turner 19:48, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

This week's location is in a field just off Manea Road (B1093) near March. Granularman and his sidekicks will be aiming to take the train to March, and cycle the 5-6 miles from there.

Spanky will likely do something similar. Trains get in to March at 15:35 and 16:35. Spanky will either be early or late. This is the way of things.

Spanky was late, getting there around 17.30. Saw nobody. The way of things was observed*. Did anybody else go? Couldn't find any markers.

*except by the GPS, which did a covert 'recalculation' and added 3 miles to the journey.

Granularman and co. were in the vicinity from about 16:45 to 17:15, enjoyed the Stone Age fort nearby, and left a small chalked epigram beside the road.

The new location is in a field near Safron Waldon 15 miles from Cambridge, cycle-able if its nice weather. 2008-05-31 Cambridge, United Kingdom

  • Youpi was there (52.126648°, 0.547533°) this afternoon (Saturday, 24/5) between 16:00 and 16:30 but saw nobody :/ Anyway it was a cool 46 miles tour! On the way I spotted an unexpected road sign:

  • Spanky went Saturday (24/5), leaving a little later than expected. Saw nobody and will be taking a satnav in future. Here is an Art found outside Haverhill:
