From Geohashing
Revision as of 16:17, 6 July 2008 by imported>Robyn (added 2008-07-05)

I'm Robyn, also known on the internets as Qov. I hash on foot, by bicycle and by transit, not by car, because burning fuel for pointless expeditions is dumb, but exercising for pointless expeditions is the win. When I'm at home in Vancouver I'll usually try for the nearest hash, in Vancouver, Surrey or Bellingham, Washington. I may get over to Victoria from time to time, too. I have good maps. I also travel all over North America for work, so I might luck into some interesting ones elsewhere.

3 Hashes Achieved in 3 Different Graticules

Geohashes Attempted

Geohashes Rejected

  • 2008-06-05 49 -123 (Vancouver): in the ocean in the mud flats just south of the south arm of the Fraser, about 2 km off shore. I was going to attempt this. I actually went to Canadian Tire to get a paddle, but then but I couldn't find my other bike bag, to put my wetsuit in, and it's such a miserable day that I've decided to clean the garage instead.
  • See my blog for details of the attempted and not attempted hashes.

Geohashers Met

  • None yet, but I'm hoping to meet some soon.

Achievements

Oh no, now that I've seen the list of available achievements, I want them *all*. I've earned land and transit, but don't have proof, so I'll have to supply that later.

Reminder to me of ones I need to document: border, land, water, first, geotrash, public transport, multihash, time traveller, endurance, no batteries, speed racer, velociraptor (so long as I get away), geoflashing.

List of Things I Have Ever Forgotten to Bring Geohashing

Not all on one attempt!
