I would love to do this, but I'd have to move to a different graticule, where I wouldn't need the underwater camping skill. --Robyn

Could clarify "All destinations". I'm assuming what is meant is that you have to visit all 7 locations in your graticule for that week. --68.37.222.210

Do we know who created this achievement? I'm already considering making it my summer holiday, but I would like to develop the achievement a bit more. Juventas 23:25, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

I think that the description still stems from the time when visits in neighbour graticules weren't imaginable. I would suggest it to read "reach one geohash every day", instead of "all destinations". That would allow to travel a bit more (or less) while doing this. -- relet 23:40, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
Contrary to the rumour, I did not personally invent this achievement. I think I made the ribbon image and there's a good chance that I created this particular page but it would have only been to transcribe and flesh out the achievement, from the old days when all the achievements were listed on one page. It was almost certainly intended by its creator as a joke, but no, Juventas, you're definitely not the first to consider making a vacation out of it. I've been mulling for a while over the best graticule to try it in. I agree with Relet that it should be acceptable to reach one geohash per day, not restricted to a single graticule. I would, however, feel that the spirit of the achievement had been somewhat slighted if the person drove several hundred miles each day just to get to the easiest geohash, instead of slogging through woods and swamps and up mountains. But it would still be a glorious vacation. Pick a [starting] graticule and a date and we'll give it a go. -Robyn 03:54, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
