From Geohashing

I'm a very handsome and muscular man. Many have described me as "creepy", for what reasons I do not know, but I guess there could be some truth in it regardless.

Statistics

  • Expeditions: 40
  • Successful: 36
  • I have visited hashpoints in 14 graticules, of which 11 have been virgins.
  • Saturday meetups: 2
  • I have reached hashpoints in the Västerås, Sala, Söderhamn, Örnsköldsvik, Säffle, Jokkmokk, Gällivare, Pajala and Kiruna municipalities (also a few in Stockholm but they are really small and I haven't bothered to figure out exactly where each hashpoint falls).

Misc. Ribbons

I like claiming ribbons, so I'll just list the most interesting ones here. I no longer bother claiming Frozen Geohashes, as these are very easy to get in Sweden.
