I'm from Glasgow, Scotland, so I'm in the 55,-4 graticule.

I'll usually try to reach a point whenever I'm able to, but university usually causes problems with this during weekdays.
I've been aiming to reach a point on one of the Scottish islands, but a suitable point on a suitable day has yet to appear.

If you're interested in the achievements I've proposed and want to give feedback of any kind, you can find them here:

There's also an ongoing discussion on potentially renaming some aspects of the wiki, which can be found here:
