The Hull / Lincoln graticule is at latitude 53, longitude -0. It contains Hull, Scunthorpe, Grimsby, and the Humber estuary; and heads south to Lincoln and Newark.
For whatever reason, Google Maps has decided not to label Hull, or "Kingston upon Hull" as it is officially named, on the zoomed-out map.
Upcoming Geohash
- 2011-04-02 - Monty, natively over the border in Sheffield, will be going to Hatfield Woodhouse in the afternoon, and is considering taking half an hour to pop down to the vicinity of this hashpoint, despite it being deep within some fields. If time allows (and it will have to be either before 12:30-ish or into the evening) he might go this way and see what he can see, given he's only personally equipped for No Batteries attempts. If anyone else is available to attempt (and maybe fail) this point, speak now or forever hold your peace. (I'll check for responses Saturday AM, but will probably be checking on-line only until around 10am, give or take.) F.Y.I.

- 2010-04-10 - Bluecont and friend David claim the first succesful geohash in this graticule - with a remarkably trouble free journey.
