Wiebe Nijland started geohashing end 2011 and is based in the Vancouver graticule, but will also visit as many other graticules as possible. I try to geohash as much as possible by bike, but will also drive out with my van especially if I can combine reaching the coordinates with some awesome camping trip or other activities.
Geohashing Equipment
- Focus Mares Disk 2010, my beloved road/cyclocross Bike (2*10 speed, 105 Compact)
- Teal VW eurovan '92, rides seven and/or sleeps two.

- Camera Gear (o.a. Sony NEX-6)
