From Geohashing
Revision as of 17:34, 14 October 2010 by imported>Joehardflec

Joe Hardman is an avid XKCD fan from Fleckney, Leics, UK.

He attends recently graduated from Leicester University (now moved to Birmingham University), and attempts local geohashes (in Northampton, United Kingdom and Birmingham East, United Kingdom graticules) on foot or by cycle (now by car too - yay!). He also crews for a hot air balloon in his spare time.

He experienced a very weird pre-emptive geohash (2008-09-20_52_-0) while out crewing for the balloon. (and again...)
