Talk:Time-traveller achievement

Anyone come close?

Seeing as no one has this badge, I tried for it today, 2008-09-13. I failed by 17 minutes (proof pending the pictures come out well.) Has anyone else done better?

I normally geohash by bicycle, so out of the question, but in the right circumstances I could get this one as an air hash. I think you're the first to try, though. Splendid effort! -Robyn 06:45, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Guys ... I've had a killer idea. Four words: End of Daylight Savings. I'm going to suggest this to my local chapter. It's particularly good for us as we don't live anywhere near a timezone border (UK). I could make it a quasi-cross-border one as well by going between England and Wales, in whichever direction is COUNTER to the usual way you'd do it by skipping timezones. It shouldn't be too difficult to achieve by car in this part of the world as the graticules are only 40-50 miles "across" (though still like 70-80 miles "high") and the roads are fairly good - and will be empty at that time.

You know, I thought of that a long time ago, but for some reason I thought this achievement had been wordedto require two Saturday 4 pm meetups. If you can get to two at two am, or whenever your local daylight savings cuts in, all power to you. I'd recommend practicing in daylight before the actual event.

Travelling E<>W across my local graticule to visit relatives and friends who live far enough away that they're a full degree or more distant count? I'm sure I've cracked the hour at much less amenable times of day before... it's a lot easier to go that way than N<>S around here! I may try a daylight practice (or at least, early night time, as it's already practically dark outside and I haven't left work yet), I'm just waiting for a day where the co-ordinates aren't a stupid distance away from work, home, or any point in-between! Getting to some distant spot for 2am would be easy - but not for 6pm ;). Actually I'm wondering if a double one is possible... be somewhere at 1am, then zoom across one graticule to land on another just before 2am.... wait for a bit and go from there onwards to a third for 2.01am! (Considered a four-stop interlaced one, but that would just be too difficult and too illegal without actually having a helicopter or at least a fast microlight with a floodlamp mounted on it ... conceptually possible by road in a moderately fast car given the clear roads, but death and/or jail would await, as well as being stripped of any potential award) (BTW, I am 77.102.101.220) 193.63.174.10 17:32, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, I crossed a time zone today and hashed each side of it. But I doubt it was at exactly the same time. That would be too freaky for words. -Robyn 01:26, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
