About me
I'm just another one of the many students at UBC.
I'm primarily going to be around the Vancouver graticule, but if the coordinates just don't work, then I'll likely try the Surrey and/or Victoria graticules (or possibly farther).
I'm current in Würzburg on a co-op term with thepiguy. While here I'll be geohashing in the general area, though I may consider going much farther, since I'm hoping to explore Europe a bit while I'm here! Also, since I'm working, I have more spare time than while I'm in classes, so you can expect to hear more from me again!
Upcoming excursions
- Due to a broken wrist, I'm not able to bike right now. At this point in time, I'll mainly be doing geohashes that I can walk to, or that are within walking distance from public transit.

2009-05-27 Würzburg Thepiguy and my hashiversaries! Unfortunately in the middle of a field, but we got to just over 100m before no trespassing! I'm counting it as a success since I could easily have reached it, but respected the farmer's crops. Officially, some would say it's a failure.
2009-05-28 Würzburg In a forest up a very steep bank (which Danatar found a way around, but Thepiguy and I just went straight up).
2009-05-29 Bamberg Not in a forest! In fact, it was on a small road by a golf course!
2009-05-30 Stuttgart In a forest beside a firing range.
2009-06-02 Bamberg In a beautiful field! However, I became a geohashualty on the way home...

2009-07-25 Würzburg A 14km walk geohash to the "Flugplatz Würzburg-Schenkenturm" (a small airfield).

I know several other UBC geohashers, but I've not been on a geohash with them, so their names are not on the above list.
