My first few thoughts:

*Hardly achievable, as the chance that all seven points are reachable is almost zero in most graticules.
 +
*Contradicts the spirit of going on the actual day, as it means to skip six possible days of valid coordinates just to have a small chance at the end of the week, which then still may turn out being void. Each expedition skipped for that is a loss to true geohashing.

*Only possible by burning a lot of fuel on a car. Simply impossible with any other kind of transport.

I suggest to move this to Traveling hashman achievement. And create a redirect from Travelling hashman achievement, or the other way around. -- relet

I don't know. Reaching seven hash points seems pretty massive to me. It's an interesting feat, but I wouldn't create the achievement before anyone actually attempted it. -- relet 21:44, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

My first few thoughts:

  • Hardly achievable, as the chance that all seven points are reachable is almost zero in most graticules.
  • Contradicts the spirit of going on the actual day, as it means to skip six possible days of valid coordinates just to have a small chance at the end of the week, which then still may turn out being void. Each expedition skipped for that is a loss to true geohashing.
  • Only possible by burning a lot of fuel on a car. Simply impossible with any other kind of transport.
