Expedition

Why does this keep happening to me‽

Report to follow, but the short version: On Saturday, I took the bus to Nahe and cycled 7 km to the hash. When I wanted to take a screenshot with the Geohash Droid, I was confused why it didn't show me on top of the hash. I checked geohashing.info to confirm I was at the right day's coordinates, and was relieved it showed the 24. A second later, though, my heart sank as I realised that today wasn't actually the 24th as I had thought – it was the 23rd! I had unintentionally visited the next day's hash for the second time this year! I really need to be more careful. The rules say I can't claim this as an expedition, but I will still do so in my personal counting, because I went there in the belief of it being an expedition. How disappointing.

Achievements

Is it true that π π π earned the Radio Yerevan achievement? In principle, yes. But it seems you can claim Radio Yerevan only for achievements, not for consolation prizes. So … Is it true that π π π earned the Blinded by Science consolation prize? In principle, yes. But I accidentally went on the wrong date, not to the wrong coordinates. Also, it was more my own fault than the technology's. (2023-09-24 53 10). (2023-09-24 53 10).

Is it true that π π π earned the Land Geohash achievement? In principle, yes. But I visited the next day's coordinates by accident, and the rules say this disqualifies it as an expedition, so I can't claim achievements. (2023-09-24 53 10).
