Hi there
I live in Karlsruhe, Germany, so I'm most active in 49,8 and 48,8.
I was an occasional xkcd-reader for a while now, but never bothered to read it from the beginning. In January 2009 I did, however, discovering Geohashing. The fact that I just got a phone with built-in GPS came in handy as well. On the following weekend, I saw that the Sunday Geohash was only 2 kilometers away from my place, so I decided to go there.

Most distances of older expeditions were measured by retracing the route as I remembered it in Google Earth, the first two expeditions to Waldstadt and Neuburg were even retraced weeks after the expeditions took place, so these might not always be accurate.
