- 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

Geohashing is a quest, of sorts, and Hobbits are well known for their bravery and fortitude while questing. To gain this achievement, you must attempt to emulate a Hobbit while getting there and back again.
Barefoot
Hobbits never wear any sort footwear, so you must complete your round-trip journey with bare feet. If camping is involved, blankets and sleeping bags are fine, as long as you are barefoot inside. You are not allowed any foot-specific accessories such as shoes, socks, diving fins, or boots. Note that this does not imply a Walk geohash, since hobbits are known to ride horses, wagons, and many other modes of transportation, but you must also trust in your own two feet. Some non-trivial portion of the route must be walked.
Food
Hobbits enjoy eating. In a typical day, they eat breakfast, brunch, elevensies, lunch, afternoon snack, tea, dinner, supper, and bedtime snack. Therefore, to emulate a Hobbit, you must stop to eat food at least twice during your journey, with each "meal" containing some type of wafer or bread.
a Ring
One of your party must be carrying a ring (any kind, could be a loop of string) all the way from the start to the hash point. It may change hands, and it doesn't matter who carries it, but a Ring must arrive at the hash point, and each hobbit must carry the ring at least part of the way. Optionally, someone may carry the ring back.
