From Geohashing
Revision as of 15:45, 31 May 2013 by imported>Benjw (create 2012 expeditions page)
In 2012, the Cambridge graticule saw twenty-one expeditions, mostly concentrated in August and September. In addition, these expeditions were undertaken by six different geohashers. This is a very pleasant increase from the nine expeditions by two hashers the previous year! Cambridge remains one of the UK's most active graticules.
Expeditions
- 11 November 2012 (Sun): Sourcerer visited the centre line of the A149 trunk road close to Sculthorpe Airfield.
- 31 October 2012 (Wed) -- On the riverbank in Chesterton, Cambridge. Benjw and Transhumanist met up at 4pm, and Benjw went to the hashpoint again later in the evening to meet PaintedJaguar.
- 21 October 2012 (Sun): At the end of Teasel Close in Haverhill. PaintedJaguar travelled by bus from Cambridge and reached the hashpoint at lunchtime.
- 26 September 2012 (Weds): In a field just outside Elmswell, Suffolk, a few metres off a footpath. Benjw is tentatively planned to take a train there from Cambridge in the afternoon.
- 25 September 2012 (Tue): A field 300 metres from Cambridge University's radio telescope control building, where Benjw had to go for work. He took a stroll into the field after that, before going on to the Northampton hashpoint in Great Eversden.
- 19 September 2012 (Wed): A residential street in Hunstanton, on the north-west Norfolk coast. Benjw enjoyed a train- and bus-ride and a walk in the sun by the sea.
- 18 September 2012 (Tue): The driveway/back garden of 4 Speedwell Close, Cherry Hinton. Benjw was recovering from yesterday's expedition (i.e. having a nap) this afternoon, but made it at 23:51, after an evening commitment.
- 17 September 2012 (Mon): In a field south of Stoke Ferry, near Downham Market. Benjw made a humungous 126.5 km bicycle geohash from Cambridge, and has now vowed never to get on a bike again.
- 15 September 2012 (Sat): In pretty much a repeat of Wednesday's outing, Benjw cycled over to the hashpoint at the edge of a sunny field north of Wentworth, and was there for a 4pm Saturday meetup of one person.
- 12 September 2012 (Wed): In a field (where else?) south of Coveney, west of Ely. Benjw and Dr-spangle cycled from Cambridge and Oundle respectively, then attempted the Northampton hashpoint but called it a day in Earith after heavy rain.
- 10 September 2012 (Mon): In a potato field outside Littleport, north of Ely. Benjw went in the late afternoon, in between running shopping errands.
- 9 September 2012 (Sun): The edge of a field between Six Mile Bottom and Brinkley, southwest of Newmarket. Benjw visited just after 8pm, as it was getting rather dark.
- 7 September 2012 (Fri): In a field outside Burwell, northeast of Cambridge. Benjw visited at 10:45pm and admired the moon and stars for a while.
- 6 September 2012 (Thu) (retrohash): Benjw was too busy on the correct day, but managed to visit this point on Sunday evening on the way home from Sunday's hash only two miles away.
- 2 September 2012 (Sun): Sourcerer reached the tidal mudflat hashpoint near Stiffkey.
- 24 August 2012 (Fri): Benjw again cycled to the 52,-0 and 52,0 hashpoints, making a total of three double-hashes and 180 km of cycling in one week.
- 20 August 2012 (Mon): Benjw again cycled to the 52,0 and 52,-0 hashpoints.
- 19 August 2012 (Sun): Benjw and Ali0sha cycled to the hashpoint from their respective home cities of Cambridge and Oxford, via the 52,-0 hashpoint.
- 9 August 2012 (Thu): Sourcerer failed to reach reach the exact hashpoint due to deep mud and wallowing pigs.
- 8 August 2012 (Wed): Sourcerer reached mud flats north of Stiffkey (pronounced Stookey), Norfolk, UK. It was on terrain which floods twice per day on each high tide. Wikiloc Tracklog
- 14 July 2012 (Sat): Sourcerer failed to reach the hashpoint off Scolt Head Island, Norfolk, UK. Thanks Benjw for the encouragement!
