Description

Claim this achievement if you have met at least 10 geohashers on your attempts (succesfull or not) to go geohashing. Thus, it does not count if you have met geohashers under different circumstances or have known them before but never went geohashing with them. Your drag-alongs will only count to this number if they started to go geohashing independently after being dragged by you. Hashscots met do never count.

There would be a ranking who has met most other geohashers, so winners can compare how (geohashingly) sociable they are.
