From Geohashing

This is a proposal made on 2015-11-27. Please leave comments and suggestions on Talk:Hashholiday achievement, indicating your thoughts on the proposal, including:
  • Support - you think this proposal should be added with zero or minor changes
  • Do not oppose - you think it's boring/meh/not for you, but it wouldn't harm to have it created
  • Oppose - you have a specific reason as to why this ribbon should not exist (state this reasoning in your comment)
  • Needs work - you think the achievement should be created after more significant changes have been made

See Proposed achievements for more information on this process.

The spirit of this achievement is to get away from home by hashing. It's inspired by the endurance achievement (or Sourcerers proposal of change).

You earn this achievement when you go hashing on several consecutive days and stay the nights between these days "near" the hash. You don't have to stay at the hash itself, but the place where you stay should be influenced by the hash. If you sleep in a shelter close to the hash, or sleep at that five star hotel that is closest to the hash (and change hotel if the hash is closer to another one) depends only on your requirements of comfort. Hiring a sailing boat and sail to some hashes on the ocean does also qualify for this achievement.

It doesn't count if your driving home for christmas and visiting a hash on your way to your parents and back, as the place where you stay the night isn't influenced by the hash. On the other hand, if you follow the hash and surprisingly visit your parents because the hash is so close to their home wouldn't invalidate the achievement (and not even if you sleep at home because the hash is so close but there should be at least one night out).

In contrast to the Consecutive geohash achievement you don't have to reach the hashpoints but you have to write a report for every day. The number of days should be part of the ribbon.

It is recommended not to use a car (but not forbidden). And it may be hard to reach the nearest five star hotel without a car.
