From Geohashing

My local graticule is Bruxelles, Belgium (50,4), and I pass 50,5 on my way to work in 51,5 each day. I also travels a lot to visit customers and suppliers in France (mainly around Paris), the Netherlands (mainly around Amsterdam / Hilversum) and Germany (Wuppertal / Bingen am Rhein). I usually only go for a geohash if it's more or less on my route because my primary means of transportation is my car and I don't like the idea of burning fuel only to get to a point somewhere. please leave me a message if you're planning to hash in one of the above area's. Alternatively you can find me most evenings idling in the IRC channel
