I hope this fits in the guidelines.
This cache is for the travelers.  To qualify you must check three distances.  1. The distance between your farthest EAST and farthest WEST finds.  2. The distance between your farthest NORTH and farthest SOUTH finds. 3. The distance to your farthest find.  ADD these three distances together and the total must be more than 4567 Kilometers.

"3. The distance to your farthest find." This info is not available to the checker system. Challenges are not allowed to be based upon them either, and haven't been allowed to for several years. This is a matter of integrity.

How about a minor change? will this work?

This cache is for the travelers. To qualify you must check two distances. 1. The distance between your farthest EAST and farthest WEST finds. 2. The distance between your farthest NORTH and farthest SOUTH finds. ADD these two distances together and the total must be more than 3456 Kilometers.

The only script available checks if a cachers extreme northernmost, easternmost, westernmost, and southernmost caches have a minimum distance around them.

For you it could result in a distance of 12345 km

Here is the link https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC97N9G/59388

Please check it out and let me know if this is a good alternative

If not I will delete the checker and place this topic as a new script required

Hey this looks like a good alternative.
Can you change it to the 4567 km total distance?
thanks for your help and working with me. dave

I was browsing through checkers looking for ideas and clicked on this one. It gave me an Eastern most cache that I don't have a found it log for. Just thought I'd mention it in case it helps clear up a problem (or point out one you didn't know you had). It shows I logged GC413RB in Romania. I do have caches in that country but this is not one of them.

Wow, user failure. I searched for that GC from the main page and it gave me one result (GC4WYH5). I didn't realize I got a different cache (guessing because the first was archived). My apologies, disregard this very confused cacher.
