- 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!
