Summary

The Lancaster and Carlisle graticule

On 21st May 2008, the day geohashing was featured in xkcd, the geohash for Lancaster and Carlisle was a spot on the coast near Silverdale.

While Google maps shows this as being on land, it is actually in the treacherous sands of Morecambe Bay. The closest accessible location was a beach near small caravan park, visible on the aerial view.
