Hey there! You should have let us here at 52, -1 know you were coming to 2010-06-20 52 -1. I looked at it and decided I couldn't be bothered, but if I'd have known someone else might be going... :-P

Never mind. Maybe see you another time. --Joehardflec 20:22, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Joe. I wasn't sure when I'd be leaving the Midlands to aim for my hashes, and didn't really have much time to hang around - I got back to Norwich late enough as it was with 4 stops for hashes! Mostly I don't have time/can't be bothered to edit meetup pages before attempting a hash - there are almost no other active hashers in my home graticule so it hardly seems worth it. I usually click on the map pin for the hash on http://irc.peeron.com/xkcd/map/ and select "Yes" if I'm going to attempt one tho. Next time I venture west again I'll remember to give you guys a shout. Happy hashing :-) --MagicIan 21:35, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

But do let me know if you ever plan to come to the Cambridge graticule and have time to stop for five minutes. At the moment I don't tend to make it very far from Cambridge itself, but would certainly try to do so for a meetup. After I take my finals in October I should have more time for hashing and if we haven't met by then, I'll try to get over towards Norwich occasionally. See you around! -- Benjw 15:21, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Sourcerer (Neil) says Wednesday 25th August is a real challenge! The hash is in a wetland. I'm not sure how wet. Sadly I have to go to Ipswich so my day is spoiled. Access from the nearest public footpath would involve a swim and a muddy wade. The larger channel is navigable with small broads boats.

Thanks for the heads-up - it does look a good one! I'll see what the weather is doing tomorrow evening. If it's nice I'll take my kayak - park up at the Horsey Windpump and paddle due west into the channels. Following thru it looks as tho one little portage would get me to within 30 meters. I have a spare kayak if you'll be back from Ipswich before sunset... --MagicIan 22:46, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm not aiming for the drowned rat achievement so forget the second kyak. Now if there happens to be fine weather pub geohash near a broad, that's another matter.

Yeah, the weather is pants so I'm not going to bother today. Might do it as a retro-hash this weekend depending on what the coordinates are like for the other days. --MagicIan 19:22, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
