Quirks
The Sheffield graticule tends to only be active in and around Leeds. The "4pm meetups" in this graticule tend to happen at about 11am local time, for arrival at the hashpoint at around noon. See individual excursion pages for more details.
People
Chesterfield
Jonty's in Chesterfield, but also doesn't have a car. If it's ever somewhere close by (within walking distance) then he'll try to make it!
Leeds
Ajtag is based in Leeds and occasionally has gone on his bike.
Koolkat is an XKCD fan in Leeds, but without a car so if somewhere is close I might turn up randomly.
s0600204 is a student returning home to Leeds at Christmas, Easter and Summer, and would be able to cycle to nearby locations at these times.
Another Leeds fan without a car. Hoping to show up one day.
Lannanos is in Leeds during University term times.
amc is an xkcd fan in Leeds, again without a car, and tends to go hashing in the mornings, so won't be at any 4pm meets.
Sheffield
Englishdude lives in Sheffield, and may do some.
Fin would love to come but cant drive, any where near Sheffield and I will be there.
Monty has car and near the centre of graticule. No GPS, so map-trips only unless accompanied.
SheffieldRach will make it if she can walk there.
Zootle lives in Sheffield and does have a car, but still hasn't made it to any locations yet.
Tadcaster
Caesium is in Tadcaster and has never been, but will attempt the next nearby Saturday. If it's not raining.
Wakefield
Tuomas is a Wakefield based student, XKCD fan also without a car. Waiting for a Saturday close by.
York
Athatar lives in York, has a car and plans to meet up if he isn't working
Djomp is in York so may do some.
Locale Unknown and Visitors
TomViza has been on a couple of Saturdays.
Elv very much wants to come but cannot drive. She can, however, walk, bus or hire a car-driving friend for the day.
Sourcerer has visited from the Norwich graticule. He lives in Suffolk.
Expeditions
Planned occasions
- 2011-03-22 53 -1 Tuesday: Located within walking distance of Monty's home, but he's probably busy during the day. Went to visit at Midnight (start of day), and may go back for Sunrise, Sunset (despite no obvious Achievement for that) or Midnight (end of day). Unless Google Maps is slightly wrong (and I'll be No Batteries, as usual), this is a Not-Quite-A-Cross that bridge achievement, as it's right on top of a pipe-bridge taking some form of mains supply over the canal and therefore only really observable from either bank. If anyone else is in the area (easy access for at least a few hundred thousand largely unaware commuters, if only they knew) feel free to see if I've been there, or make some sort of record of your own visit.
General upcoming notes
- (This section only really useful for mentioning Sat/Sun/Mon destinations of note.)
Took place in 2011
- 2011-03-20 53 -1 Sunday: Multihash 1 of 5: Sourcerer visited a field north of the A57 at Hollow Meadows about seven miles west of Sheffield, UK.
- 2011-02-24 53 -1 Thursday: Another in a string of Lucky Thursday hits for Monty, to which he'd added a Retrohash of Saturday 19th for good measure, and might have met some potential converts.
- 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.
