Introduction
I'm Mark and I live within the London West graticule.
I'm hoping to put some more detail on this page soon, but for starters I discovered Geohashing via the T-Mobile G1 app when searching for xkcd apps and it merges my fondness for experimental travel and xkcd. Perfect.
After weeks of joking and threats to friends I finally achieved (and failed) my virgin Hash Attempt on May 31, 2009 and have the appetite for more. Unwittingly I might have set a few hares running with the distance - more detail on my talk page and that of the attempt itself, linked below.
Hash Attempts
| Attempt | Date & Time | Graticule | Hashpoint | Locality | Route | Result | Achievements (Count) | Report |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 31st May, 2009 11am-5pm |
London West | 51.914° N 0.533° W |
Thorn, N of Houghton Regis, Beds | Google Maps | Failed | Mother Nature's Bitch (1) | Here |
Achievements
Ambitions
Being based in the corner hundredth of my graticule is a good opportunity to claim some early achievement scalps, so for starters I hope to achieve the following:
- multihash achievement, most likely in London East graticule when the latitude decimal is smaller than 0.1° and the longitude decimal is greater than 0.8° (approx once every fifty days)
- Consecutive_geohash_achievement, probably when the hashpoint in Northampton is close, likely on days when the latitude decimal is less than 0.2° and the longitude decimal is smaller than 0.1° (again, approx once every fifty days)
- Minesweeper_Geohash achievement, probably by reaching both London East and Northampton
- to not achieve the MNB_Geohash again before I've completed my 5th attempt
