I would appreciate a checker for a fairly simple Challenge on the lines of some of the Trophy Challenge county types. What I can't determine yet is the level at which qualifying will be set. For that I need the checker first so I can test that a minimum number of cachers qualify, which is what the Reviewer will want to know.

The Challenge is to have logged at least the following number of Letterbox caches but I may have to modify some of these levels.

County Durham 60
Tyne and Wear 12
Northumberland 15

Many thanks

Here's a checker for you:

Please test and let us know how to tweak it. :)

Thanks. It seems to be working fine but has raised some tricky issues about county boundaries which will affect the qualification levels. Unfortunately the main series of 10 letterboxes in Tyne and Wear runs along the boundary with County Durham and some are counted in one county and some in the other. Is it possible to produce a list of the letterboxes in each of the 3 counties It only totals about 100.

I've changed the checker to list the finds as well. Hopefully that will help you fine-tune the limits.

Splendid. Thanks. I will leave this open for a few days until I have agreed the limits with the Reviewer.

The list has shown up an issue on my own finds. The following are either in Tyne and Wear or Co Durham but don't appear in either county on the checker list. I use the ProjectGC script and they show up on the cache page as in Co Durham (in GSAK they are shown as Tyne and Wear). I don't mind which they are in as long as they are counted somewhere.

GC74Y4T #6 – PBLS
GC74Y52 #7 – PBLS
GC74Y5D #9 – PBLS
GC74Y5N #10 - PBLS

Seems they're part of County Durham. You can use the following quick checker to pinpoint where your finds are reflecting:

I have discussed with the Reviewer and agreed that the qualification levels should be set at the numbers below. Could you please amend the checker accordingly. With any luck the cache can be finalised once this has been completed.

County Durham 55
Northumberland 12
Tyne and Wear 10
