As with the previous day's expedition, I'm afraid that in general the rule is that achievements are not claimed for expeditions where you did not reach the coordinates. There are a variety of consolation prizes to claim instead, but most of the ribbons with 'achievement' in their name require reaching the hash. It might seem a bit harsh, but, well, that's how it works. Also, the bicycle geohash requires you to reach the hashpoint solely by bike. Driving to a point a few hundred metres away and riding the last bit does not count. All of the achievement pages contain the details of what you must do to claim them -- you might like to have a close browse of these sometime. Sorry you've had a bit of a spate of "not reached" recently, by the way -- hope your next few are better. — Benjw  _{talk} 12:05, 1 September 2012 (EDT)
