This [http://carabiner.peeron.com/xkcd/map/map.html?lat=51&long=1&zoom=8&abs=1 graticule] covers the part of the [[United Kingdom]] (UK) from 51° to 52° latitude, and from 1° to 2° longitude.  It covers the eastern end of Kent, and also parts of the Suffolk and Essex coasts.  At low tide, it also covers a very, very tiny piece of a French beach near Calais.

The {{Today's location|lat=51|lon=1|text=51, 1 graticule}} covers the part of the [[United Kingdom]] (UK) from 51° to 52° latitude, and from 1° to 2° longitude.  It covers the eastern end of Kent, and also parts of the Suffolk and Essex coasts.  At low tide, it also includes a tiny piece of a French beach near Calais - 0.00077 of the area. This might be reachable once every three or four years. The sea areas are Thames and Dover.

Canterbury has a couple of inconveniences. It is about 20% land and the Thames estuary splits the graticule. It's 150 km or 90 miles to the nearest river crossing at Dartford and back to the 51, 1 border. There's a ferry (Gravsend to Tilbury), slightly closer, but only for pedestrians and bicycles. In an average month there might be 4 southern zone and 2 northern land hashpoints.

Local and adjacent hashpoints.

The 51, 1 graticule covers the part of the United Kingdom (UK) from 51° to 52° latitude, and from 1° to 2° longitude. It covers the eastern end of Kent, and also parts of the Suffolk and Essex coasts. At low tide, it also includes a tiny piece of a French beach near Calais - 0.00077 of the area. This might be reachable once every three or four years. The sea areas are Thames and Dover.

Canterbury has a couple of inconveniences. It is about 20% land and the Thames estuary splits the graticule. It's 150 km or 90 miles to the nearest river crossing at Dartford and back to the 51, 1 border. There's a ferry (Gravsend to Tilbury), slightly closer, but only for pedestrians and bicycles. In an average month there might be 4 southern zone and 2 northern land hashpoints.
