Plans

Shevek

The hash is not too far from my home. I'll have someone visit me some time after midnight the day before, so I'll have to be awake then. This seems like a great opportunity to get the achievement for being at the hash at midnight. I'll go there by bike, so that I'll be back home in time for my visitor.

Expedition

Everything went according to plan. I arrived about a quarter before midnight. The hash was very easily accessible, as expected. I took a few photos, but (surprise?) it was too dark to get anything decent. I practiced a few times taking timed screenshots on my phone, so I'd be able to get one that said "00:00:00" for the time.

At midnight, I first took the screenshot and I indeed managed to get it at the right second. Then I took another picture of myself.

After all that I went home, and just as I arrived there I got a call that my visitor was on the way. So the timing was perfect.
