Hi, Nick from Melbourne, and welcome to geohashing!
You may see that I've changed the achievements page back to how it was before your edits. That's not because I think your proposals are bad; it's simply because there is an accepted way to propose new achievements, so that other wiki users can comment and vote on them. You can find this process at the proposed achievements page. A couple of comments:
- Good Game achievement-- Arrive at a sports venue when the event is going on to get a geohash
I actually quite like this idea, and I'd encourage you to propose it to the wiki, but it may prove too specific for a geohash award -- sports grounds do not cover a very large area and the chances of hitting one are very slim.
- Travel-less Hash achievement -- Find a Geohash where you were going anyway
This one pretty much already exists as the Easy Geohash award.
Good luck with your geohashing. I hope to see you at a hashpoint soon! :-) — Benjw {talk} 00:58, 6 February 2015 (EST)
Thanks, Benjw. I probably got a little bit ahead of myself. I do that a lot. Anyway, I'll try and make it to a hash point anywhere I can, today's one is about 40 minutes away and I couldn't get there or persuade Mum to help.
No worries. And yes, unfortunately quite a large part of geohashing is "waiting around for a hashpoint to arrive at a convenient spot". But hopefully that will make the ones you can get to a lot more exciting. Happy hashing. — Benjw {talk} 01:19, 6 February 2015 (EST)
I'm having some bad luck here. The first was near Fernshaw, the second near Alexandra and the third out near Warbuton. Getting further and further away each time. Come on, East Melbourne graticule, give me something!
