Marvyn is a medical student who lives in Haarlem (52,4) and studies in Leiden. he will try to reach hashes in a 30km cycling radius from Haarlem or other ones further away when he finds the time. He owns no GPS device, so he will use maps and other old school methods. He got into geohashing because he is attracted to the idea of an instant adventure generator.
