About Me

20 / m / 55,-4

I'm from Glasgow, Scotland, so I'm in the 55,-4 graticule. I've not attempted too many geohashes yet. I've looked at some previous geohashes and there have been many near me, including one only 53 metres from my house, but I only found out about geohashing in August 2023, roughly 6 years too late.

All Geohashes

• 2023-08-17 55 -3 in a field near Falkirk (bus, train, walking)
• 2023-08-20 41 -87 near the parking lot for a park in Bensenville, Illinois (reached via puppet)
• 2023-08-21 55 -4 in a restricted area at Glasgow Airport [DID NOT ATTEMPT]
• 2023-09-12 56 -4 on a hill near Inverarnan (car, walking) [Prevented by Mother Nature]
