This graticule is in the United Kingdom and contains the East End of London, and extends through Basildon to Southend-on-sea, also covering Maidstone, Chelmsford, Harlow and Colchester. It includes such diverse locations as the O2 Milennium Dome, the Isle of Sheppey, and London Stansted Airport.
It ranges from 52° to 51° latitude, and from 0° to 1° longitude. When following the XKCD geohashing algorithm, append the fractional hash part to 51° latitude and 0° longitude.
There has not been much local activity in this graticule recently, although with one new hasher resident inside and another just over the north border, more may happen soon.
Past activity
2009
- 2009-01-15 51 0: Benjw visited from the Cambridge graticule, and successfully reached a grassy area just off a track near the B1256, south of Stansted Airport.
2008
- 2008-07-15 51 0: (tr00st) attempted to head over by bike for his first attempt at getting to some coordinates... Arrived at the field the coordinates were in at about 5:45pm - vegetation proved too thick for me to actually make it to the right point, got pretty close.
- 2008-06-23 51 0: A group from Maidstone and its surrounds are heading out to this conveniently close hash by foot, by bike, but probably not by plane. The hash may be sneakily relocated to the woods nearby if the field is found to be full of rapeseed for hay fever reasons.
- 2008-06-14 51 0: The co-ordinates are in the middle of a field, with the closest civilisation either the small town/village of Hunsdon or the town of Ware. Reached by walking across country from Roydon train station. Found a swamp.
- 2008-06-07 51 0: In darkest Thamesmead, just off the 244 bus route. Could only take sly photos due to dodgy looking locals.
