About Norwich
The 52,1 graticule covers the parts of the United Kingdom from 52° to 53° latitude, and from 1° to 2° longitude. This includes parts of Norfolk and Suffolk with their coastlines. The Reverse regional achievement is easily achieved by geohashing both these counties. 57% is land. In an average month there might be 17 land geohashes with 15 reachable so it's a "coin toss" whether or not you can reach coordinates on any given day. The north coast is in sea area Humber. The east is Thames.
Most of the terrain is agricultural. Some areas are very flat. Other areas include low rolling hills. This easy terrain, full of public footpaths, is balanced by coastal mud flats and salt marshes which can be tricky to reach. The Norfolk and Suffolk Broads cover a sizeable area with rivers, canals and man-made broads (lakes) created by peat digging.

- Rats - I'm in Staffordshire or I would have tried this one. --Sourcerer (talk) 14:04, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
- Sourcerer wants to know what "massive clothes packing error" could prevent an expedition. We have "geoflash" for nakedness, "Hobbit" for bare feet, "Formal Attire" for suits and waistcoats and general silly attire is to be encouraged.
