Info
Earn this achievement through the 'surprisingly not as simple as it sounds' act of flying a kite at a hash point. This is a very hash location and weather dependent achievement - requiring clean winds and open terrain.
- Definition of 'fly' would be to get the kite off the ground long enough to gain photographic evidence - may be quite challenging if there is only one of you and your kite has two strings but we all like a challenge;
- To obtain the award, the kite should be flown within close proximity to the hash point ie. within sight;
- There shouldn't need to be strict specifications on the definition of a kite - I think we all know what a kite is - but for completeness, a kite should be something (not necessarily a member of the quadrilateral family) attached to a piece of string of at least 10 metres in length;
- Bonus points obtainable if your kite is home-made or of the plastic bag variety - they fly well.
