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.~~
University classes are now finished until September. After May, I'll probably have a much less restrictive schedule and will be able to attempt more geohashes.

I've been aiming to reach a point on one of the Scottish islands, most likely Arran, but a suitable point on a suitable day has yet to appear.

I've been looking to get a bike sorted specifically for geohashing, but it's been a while since I've ridden one. I'll maybe use some retro geohashes to 're-learn' how to cycle as I build my ability back up.

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

Holiday achievement (previously Valentine's achievement, Talk:Towel Day achievement)
N-in-a-row achievement (inspired by Bingo geohash achievement)
