Expedition

Three weeks ago I moved to Szczecin to start a new job in the area and was checking for easy geopoints since then. Today finally some luck - I start my shift in the afternoon and the geopoint was in my new neighbourhood, some 5 minutes walk from my new place. Lucky! Sadly, the day was awful, rainy, cold and depressing. The fun fact: the name of the street the geopoint was located is "Smutna", which means "Sad" in Polish. Appropriate. The point itself was in the middle of an urban area, in front of a church, on the bank of some small pond full of ducks. Easy and short expedition, but the first on Polish soil in this graticule, the first daylight expedition in this graticule and the second expedition ever, so I feel like I deserve some honorary Virgin Graticule achievement :D.

Achievements

Third-party awarded honorary virgin graticule achievement! --LeslieHapablap (talk) 14:40, 16 October 2013 (EDT)

Is it true that JRK earned the Virgin Graticule? In principle, yes. But it was only the first expedition in the Polish part of this graticule (2013-10-16 53 14).
