This graticule contains the City, West End, and many western boroughs of London. It also extends as far as Slough and Reading to the west, Luton to the north, and Crawley to the south.
Its territory ranges from 52° to 51° latitude, and from -1° to -0° longitude. When following the XKCD geohashing algorithm, append the fractional hash part to 51° latitude and -0° longitude. Note the use of negative zero.
Past activity
Leave comments, plans and speculation regarding upcoming meet-ups here.
- 24th May 2008 (Saturday): The nearest village is Dunsfold, a mile away to the south-west; however, it seems to be a pretty small village. The point is in a small wood; streetmap.co.uk shows a path going to the exact point!
- 31st May 2008 (Saturday): Near Horsham, in "Monk's Wood".
** Kit will probably come. Quite happy with the new location - it's not far from a public path. ** Despite lots of talking about it, Steve didn't make it.
- 7th June 2008 (Saturday): Between platforms 13 and 14 in Waterloo Station.
- 15th December 2008 (Monday): Amersham Road, close to Chalfont and Latimer Rail Station.
** Kate will be riding from Uxbridge and will be there at about 9:30 am (and is super excited about a Northern Hemisphere Geohash!)
