This expedition was affected by mtu's Grand GPS Clustermug of 2010.
In all cases, the actual hashpoints would have been easily accessible, but were missed by 20–200 m solely due to mtu's ineptitude.
In commemoration of this epic fail,
 |
mtu earned the False Start Consolation Prize
|
 |
As a consequence, all achievements formerly claimed for this hash are null and void (except Drag-along achievements). Instead,
 |
mtu earned the Blinded by Science Consolation Prize
|
Please note that the expedition narrative was written before this became known!
