Plans

Expeditions

2020-05-17 50 -3 - Harowcal attempted to reach the hash but found it far from public access; he also found a mysterious network of forest paths.
2020-05-16 50 -3 - Harowcal cycled to the hash on a farm just outside Woodbury but was unable to reach it due to having no public access.
2020-05-09 50 -3 - Harowcal cycled to the hash in a field between Stockleigh and Cadbury, including a particularly arduous hill and a peacock.
2010-06-04 50 -3‎ - Glory and cormorants! Okay, mostly cormorants. Munky hit the hash off Shaldon in the XKCD Standard Issue Inflatable kayak.
2010-05-01 50 -3 - Munky attempted to reach the hash out to sea near Slapton but chickened out.
2009-03-05 50 -3‎ - I know this isn't technically geohashing but I thought xkcd fans might appreciate it. I did this run [1] as an anniversary present for my girlfriend (it wasn't the only thing I gave her, mind you). It was quite tiring. Pastaman.
2008-06-01 50 -3‎ - Faragher unknowingly came within 150m of today's hash, but didn't find out until too late!
