The Sheffield graticule is at latitude 53, longitude -1. It contains York, Bradford, Leeds, Halifax, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield, Chesterfield & Mansfield.

Quirks

The Sheffield graticule tends to only be active in and around Leeds. The "4pm meetups" in this graticule tend to happen at about 11am local time, for arrival at the hashpoint at around noon. See individual excursion pages for more details.

People

Chesterfield

Jonty's in Chesterfield, but also doesn't have a car. If it's ever somewhere close by (within walking distance) then he'll try to make it!

Leeds

Ajtag is based in Leeds and occasionally has gone on his bike.

Koolkat is an XKCD fan in Leeds, but without a car so if somewhere is close I might turn up randomly.

s0600204 is a student returning home to Leeds at Christmas, Easter and Summer, and would be able to cycle to nearby locations at these times.

Another Leeds fan without a car. Hoping to show up one day.

Lannanos is in Leeds during University term times.

amc is an xkcd fan in Leeds, again without a car, and tends to go hashing in the mornings, so won't be at any 4pm meets.

Sheffield

Englishdude lives in Sheffield, and may do some.

Fin would love to come but cant drive, any where near Sheffield and I will be there.

SheffieldRach will make it if she can walk there.

Zootle lives in Sheffield and does have a car, but still hasn't made it to any locations yet.

Monty has car and a fairly central reticular position. Doesn't have a GPS but flatters himself that he can read maps, for what that's worth. One meetup, so far, but that was before actually enwikiing himself so probably is a little cheaty.

Tadcaster

Caesium is in Tadcaster and has never been, but will attempt the next nearby Saturday. If it's not raining.

Wakefield

Tuomas is a Wakefield based student, XKCD fan also without a car. Waiting for a Saturday close by.

York

Djomp is in York so may do some.

Locale Unknown

TomViza has been on a couple of Saturdays.

Elv very much wants to come but cannot drive. She can, however, walk, bus or hire a car-driving friend for the day.
