Intro

I stumbled across the geohashing phenomenon while trawling through old xkcd cartoons, and the concept appealed to my adventure seeking inner geekiness. I'm keeping my eye out for the local, easily accessible hashes, and maybe go further afield on the weekends - usually dragging my partner JimmyNZ along, as that particular model comes with a GPS as well as petrol money. =)

Every morning I religiously check the geohash coordinates: the more time that passes, the more frustrated I become at Auckland's slender shape as a huge proportion of the hashes either end up in the surrounding ocean or in the surprisingly large quantity of bush that still remains in the area. If not, then the hash either lands a mile away from my current location, or in people's farms/lifestyle plots. Oh well, looks like this has become a long weekend hobby. Still, I'll keep looking and waiting, like us all, in anticipation of the perfect geohash!


Graticules

I live in the Auckland, New Zealand graticule, the Manukau City, New Zealand graticule is pretty close, and have visited and claimed a couple of hashes in the South Waikato, New Zealand and Hamilton, New Zealand graticules while passing through. Got lucky in Christchurch, New Zealand while I was there briefly too. These days, I seem to be spending a bit of time in Palmerston North, New Zealand, wait out!

Pages I Maintain

I maintain the following pages, being ones that I have visited and added an expedition. Its a simple enough job as the sum total of people geohashing in the whole of New Zealand is probably about three!
