Expeditions
- 2011-02-23 53 -1 Tuesday: If anyone has a kayak, dingy, rubber ring or just a general willingness to get wet on purpose, this day's geohash appears from the usual mapping sites to be smack bang in the middle of the Calder & Hebble Navigation. It's just slightly to one side of the bridge carrying the M1, so no Speed Racer/Cross That Bridge combo possible, probably, but a rare Water Hash for this graticule, instead, if the overheads are to be believed.
Planned occasions
- None planned
Took place in 2011
- 2011-02-19 53 -1 Saturday: Failure, due to bad planning. But still a nice day out. Still open to being a decent Retrohash destination, the next available Saturday (or other day) when there's time to spare and that day's hashpoint doesn't make it difficult to do.
- 2011-02-18 53 -1 Friday: On a whim, Monty aimed for and probably missed this hash.
- 2011-02-17 53 -1 Thursday: Yet another Thursday geohash for Monty, who is looking forward for a decent Saturday one so as to eschew the car, for once.
- 2011-02-04 53 -1 Friday: myka succeeds again, about 5km out of leeds city center, on a driveway off Green Hill Drive, Bramley
- 2011-02-03 53 -1 Thursday: Did Monty technically get a 1-week Hashiversarry? Probably not.
- 2011-01-27 53 -1 Thursday: amc and myka found a new hasher and met a farmer.
- 2010-10-06_53_-1#Retro_expedition_2011-01-25 Tuesday: amc and myka, retro expedition to Horsforth again.
