My home coordinates are plusminus 48.53,9.06 in the city of Tuebingen, Germany.
I was born and lived for a long time in 49,11 and still am there from time to time.
I plan to geohash mostly by bicycle, but will make short detours (less than 5km one way), if a geohash is near to a route I'm driving by car anyway.
Geohashes
Finally I started with geohashing after years of just watching and checking the coordinates like once every few months :)
Achievements
Only the first ribbon is listed for achievements I acquired more than once.
Easy ones
not so easy ones
by paying 5.80 EUR to access the
(48, 9) geohash at the northern railway track belonging to "Deutsche Bahn" from Reutlingen to Tuebingen on
2015-09-11.

For an over view see the map: http://xkcd.nathanwoodruff.com/GooMapXKCDKlaus.htm or use the table below. It contains the first successful hash for each graticule.
I only included graticules for the moment for which I know I'll be travelling through or staying at least for a few days per year and thus there is a small possibility to get them, if the algorithm is kind enough! Those with brackets are quite unlikely :(
Furthermore, I'm travelling for work sometimes, so I might be able to get some other graticules mostly in Germany, too.
Bash Script
As I always forget to look up the coordinates, I hacked this (very ugly) bash script to let a daily cronjob inform me per email, whenever a geohash is near to me:
#!/bin/bash
maxdistance=15
a=$(curl 'http://tjum.anthill.de/cgi-bin/geohash.cgi?lat=48.53&lon=9.06&nr=1&map=0&size=240x240&t=&date=&unit=km' 2>/dev/null |
iconv -f 'iso8859-1' -t 'utf8' |
sed 's/<br>/\n/g' |
sed 's/ / /g' |
fgrep 'km' |
cut -d ':' -f2 |
cut -d 'k' -f1 |
sort -n |
head -n 1 |
cut -d '.' -f 1)
echo $a
if [ $a -lt $maxdistance ]
then
echo 'http://tjum.anthill.de/cgi-bin/geohash.cgi?t=1&nr=o&unit=km&zoom=11%2F5&zoom=8%2F2&type=roadmap&lat=48.53&lon=9.06&size=240x240' |
mail -s "geohash is near to tuebingen ($a)" USERNAME
fi
I just parses the small hash inquiry tool from Ekorren in the most complicated way and sends the mail via a local mailserver :)
