If the reason for not reaching the coords is that you don't want to walk on a field where things grow, couldn't you claim it a success? You could easily have walked there, you weren't blocked by a fence or a no trespassing sign, it's just respect for the farmer. Someone once told me on the wiki that it was o.k. to claim it a success in case the only reason why you didn't get to the exact coords was respect for whichever grows on the field. But maybe that's one of the things not clearly defined in geohashing and everyone may do as (s)he wants? --Zb 21:17, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

There isn't any fixed rule of that kind, but an unspoken agreement that you may a success if you could easily have proceeded but restrained out of respect (as opposed to some "I clearly know the hash is in the house, but I got as close as x metres, and I can't fail"). However, you are surely not obliged to call it a success. If there isn't any other achievement in for you which depends on "reached" it doesn't make much of a difference, does it? Geohashing is not about numbers, it's about experience. And the experience outside is just the same whether you categorize it as reached or not reached. --Ekorren 21:34, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
