Intro
Im fairly new to this game, since the start of 2010 in fact. I stumbled across the phenomenon while trawling through old xkcd cartoons, and the concept appealed to my adventure seeking inner geekness. Im keeping my eye out for the local, easily accessible hashes, and maybe go further afield on the weekends - usually dragging my partner JimmyNZ along, as that particular model comes with a GPS as well as petrol money. =)
Every morning I religiously check the geohash coordinates; the more time that passes, the more frustrated I become at Aucklands slender shape as a huge proportion of the hashes either end up in the surrounding ocean or in the surprisingly large quantity of bush that still remains in the area. If not, then the hash either lands a mile away from my current location, or in peoples farms/lifestyle plots. Oh well, looks like this has become a long weekend hobby, still, ill keep looking and waiting, like us all, in anticipation of the perfect geohash!
Graticules
I live in the Auckland, New Zealand graticule and have visited and claimed a couple of hashes in the South Waikato, New Zealand and Hamilton, New Zealand graticules while passing through.
