Location

On Friday, KarMann was pleasantly surprised when he first checked the geohashes for the weekend, and saw that the Saturday point was just about half a mile from his home. Not quite a Couch Potato Geohash, but certainly closer than usual. And it's in a park, so easy access, right? Yes, in the water park… and right over the water.

Plans

So, certainly an easy walk to get near the hashpoint, but what about those last 30 metres? KarMann isn't equipped to walk on water. But what's this? A little drone that he just got for Christmas? Isn't there some specific achievement for just that kind of thing? Let's pack up for the expedition!

Achievements

KarMann earned the Geohash by proxy achievement by reaching the (53, -2) geohash on 2020-02-01 using a GPS-carrying DJI Mavic Mini drone.

KarMann earned the Walk geohash Achievement by reaching the (53, -2) geohash on 2020-02-01 on foot, travelling a distance of 3.77 km.

Tentatively:

KarMann earned the Last man standing achievement by being the the only hasher world-wide to go on a geohashing expedition on 2020-02-01.

KarMann issued a challenge for the Tale of Two Hashes achievement by geohashing in a place named Manchester from the (53, -2) geohash on 2020-02-01.

I'm also optimistic that I may have achieved Déjà vu by proxy, having flown my drone right over that same area of the lake before. I'll have to review my records to see just how close it's been. That would be a lovely combo.
