Three Geohashing Achievement Icons that can be earnt.

As well as having the pure and genuine ecstacy of having reached a Geohash, many Geohashers like to compliment those feelings with the joy of having won an achievement. There are many different kinds of achievements, ranging from very easy to statistically impossible.

It is recommended that you take photographic proof to prove your achievement. This is, however, only important for proving to the community that you are an accomplished Geohasher and for many personal satisfaction is enough. Achievements are divided intro three sub sections. One section is for the comedic achievements, not very attainable and very unlikely anyone will do it, but still an achievement none-the-less. All other Achievements can be split into two groups based on the number of people that can attain the Geohash; "I'm Better Than You" Achievements and Basic Geohash Achievements.

Basic Geohash Achievements

Land Geohash

Everyone can get a Basic Geohash Achievement if you fullfill the neccessary critirea and supply the necessary proof. Some of these come with physical prizes also.

Land Geohash, Water Geohash, "Mother Nature is my Bitch" Geohash, Pub Geohash, Public Transport Geohash, Underground Geohash, Twister Geohash , Thumbs Up Geohash, First Geohasher Geohash, "Mother Natures Bitch" Geohash, Origin Geohash, Snowman Geohash, Intercontinental Geohash, Bicycle Geohash

"I'm Better than You" Achievements

File:Mnimbgeohash.jpg

MNIMB Geohash

"I'm Better than you" Achievements are the kind of achievement that only belongs to the best, that is, they have been to the highest mountain or the deepest cave, the coldest lake or the hottest desert to get a Geohash. Many of these require a level of extreme toughness (eg, highest), however, a handful of these take into account the story of how you got to the Geohash (eg, Sexiest). One each page there is a high score table, and if you're brave enough, it may finally be a way to immortalise that internet alias you use.

Highest Geohash, Lowest Geohash, Hottest Geohash, Coldest Geohash, Easiest Geohash, Hardest Geohash, Sexiest Geohash, Prettiest Geohash, Most Expensive Geohash, Youngest_Geohasher, Oldest Geohash

"My Graticule is Better than you" Achievements

Most Active Graticles Achievement, Most People at a Geohash Achievement

Comedic Achievements

Couch Potato Geohash

Couch Potato Geohash, Velociraptor Geohash, Strip Club Geohash

-The simplest kind of Geohash, making it to a Geohash on land will win you the [[Land_geohash|Land Geohash]].

-Whilst not all geohashers have access to a boat, those who do are able to get the [[Water_Geohash|Water Geohash]] achievement should they live in a Graticule that covers water, which you would assume because they own a boat.<br><br>
-The water geohash achievement only counts for permanent bodies of water, so swimming pools are in but puddles are out.
-==="Mother Nature is my Bitch" GeoHash===
 [[Image:Mnimbgeohash.jpg‎ |thumb|100 px|MNIMB Geohash]]
-Should you have to overcome certain impediments by virture of land, forest or water to reach your location, you can achieve the [[MNIMB_Geohash|"Mother Nature is my Bitch" Geohash]] Achievement (MNIMB). To achieve this Geohash, attemptees must have to have overcome rivers/mountains/cliffs/trees/bears/mountain lions/drop bears/velociraptors or any other kind of wild animal from your country to get to the location on the day.

-Achieving this Geohash is inherently only possible to the toughest and most committed Geohashers.

+"My Graticule is Better than you" Achievements
-Should you have to overcome certain impediments by virture of land, forest or water to reach your location.... and fail, you can achieve the [[MNB_Geohash|"Mother Nature's Bitch"]] Geohash achievement.
-To achieve this, attemptees must have to make a serous effort in overcoming Nature's obstacles, yet only just fail.
-This achievement was created in honour of [[user:phire|phire]], who was the first to attempt to achieve the [[MNIMB_Geohash|"Mother Nature Is My Bitch Geohash]] and only just fail.
-===Couch Potato Geohash===

+==Comedic Achievements==
 [[Image:Couchpotatogeohash.gif |thumb|100 px|Couch Potato Geohash]]
-For those lucky enough to have a days location fall right on their house, therefore not having to move at all to get to the location, this one in a million [[Couch_Potato_Geohash|Couch Potato]] Geohashing achievement is yours.
+[[Couch_potato_geohash|Couch Potato Geohash]], [[Raptor_geohash|Velociraptor Geohash]], [[Stripclub_geohash|Strip Club Geohash]]
-If this does happen, you also have to have 10 hours notice before the [[Party_Geohash|party]] starts. You supply the snacks, we'll supply the drinks.
-===Pub Geohash===
-For those over the drinking age, this Geohash is a pleasant suprise.  If  a pub exists at the co-ordinates you are sent to, you are required to have a beer and celebrate to get the [[Pub_Geohash|Pub]] achievement. Unless you're driving.
-===Public Transport Geohash===
-This can occur when the co-ordinates in question lie exactly on a public transit route of some sort (subway, bus, monorail, ferry, train, funiculaire, cogwheel railway.  The [[Public_Transport_Geohash|Public Transport]] achievement is yours if you are on said mode of transport at the specific time when it passes under/over/across the point in question.  This may be an effective way to get the [[Water_Geohash|Water GeoHash]], too.
-===Bicycle Geohash===
-You may claim this achievement if you bicycled to and from geohash coordinates for a total distance over 20 miles.  Under 20 miles can claim the "training wheels geohash" achievement instead.
-==="Going Deep" Geohash===
-[[Image:Undergroundgeohash.jpg‎ |thumb|100 px|"Going Deep" Geohasher Icon]]
-This is achieved by actually being [[Underground_Geohash|underground]] at the geohash site.  We hope this occurs in a tunnel or cave, because if you just bury yourself to secure this award, you're taking things a bit far.<br>
-<br>
-Should the tunnel you bury yourself in be inundated with snakes/alligators/crocodiles/bears/velociraptors you may be eligible for extra achievements.
-==="Going Up" Geohash===
-Something in the way of your geohash, like a tall building or a tree? See how high above ground level you can get. The Geohasher who gets the highest above a geohash on the day wins the [[Going_Up_Geohash| "Going Up"]] Achievement.
-Mountains and Hills don't count, Playgrounds and Ladders do. Distance is measured from ground level, not sea level.
-===Party GeoHash===
-If you make it to a saturday morning Geohash and independently meet other Geohashers, you are able to claim this achievement if you and your new found best friends play some sort of game.
-Practically, a quick game of Rock/Paper/Scissors counts, Playing Guitar Hero on the other hand, does not count.<br>
-However if you're prepared, you may be able to claim...
-===Twister GeoHash===
-[[Image:Crisco.jpg|thumb|115 px|The ultimate reward]]
-Playing [[Twister_Geohash|Twister]] at the GeoHash location is an exceptional achievement, and worthy of much respect. Even more impressive should the location also have been worthy of a [[MNIMB_Geohash|"Mother Nature is my Bitch" Geohash]] achievement.
-For each Twister achievement, a complimentary container of Crisco can be shipped to your home. After providing photographic proof, simply contact [[User:Ironiridis|ironiridis]] and provide your mailing address.
-===Thumbs Up Geohash===
-Here, the trick is to hitch hike the way to the geohash as far reasonably possible, preferably of course with as few rides as possible. Extra points if you use an Electronic Thumb.
-===Raptor Geohash===
-If you are being attacked by a Velociraptor on the Geohash location, you can get this exceptional achievement. Special mentioning when you lose your life during this encounter. <br />
-Pictures are required.
-===Intercontinental Geohasher===
-There are a lot of graticules, so some people might like to visit other graticules, even on other continents. It's a great achievement if you visited Geohash locations on all continents.
-===Snowman Geohash===
-[[Image:Snowman.jpg‎ |thumb|100 px|Snowman Geohash Icon]]
-If you are so lucky (or unlucky) to find your location in a place surrounded by snow, make a snowman to win this [[Snowman_Geohash|Snowman Geohash]] achievement.
-===Origin Geohash===
-This can be achieved by visiting the geohash in the graticule you were born in for the day on which you were born. Which would be pretty crazy.
-==Community Geohash Achievements==
-===Most Active===
-The graticule with the most successful geohashers is awarded this achievement.
