I need two new checkers please.

To log this cache, you must have cached on a minimum of 777 unique caching days since you have started caching.

I've seen a variation of this which is to have found two caches that are 100miles apart. What I need is a challenge to have found two caches that are 401km apart. I don't know how to figure that out and even if I have two caches that are 401km apart. If I don't then possibly just two caches that are 100km apart. I don't want to duplicate the 100 mile challenge because this challenge is in Canada and I'd like it to be in km but not 160km. Thanks.
Must have found two caches that are 401km apart.

For the 401km one, you didn't specify the level of accuracy. I've assumed you want 400.5 - 401.5 to count, so that's how I tagged it. You have a pair at 401.246km apart.

Hey that's awesome! The level of accuracy is perfect. Thanks for thinking of that. It was mentioned in the other ones with 100 miles. I went with 401km because my challenges are along highway 401 and are a 401 Challenge series.

Thanks much. They both look great.

I had this challenge turned down by the reviewer.
"Sorry but finding two caches a specific distance apart is not considered to be an achievement. It's either a bookkeeping exercise to locate the two caches or just a matter of Irish Luck that you have already found two caches that distance apart. "Challenge criteria must be positive and require that a geocaching goal be achieved." "

I appealed it but GS did not agree.

From GS
"The appeals team has viewed your challenge cache listing GC73Q5H and the correspondence between you and the reviewer. We agree with your reviewer's assessment of this geocache listing and the advice given. We will not be providing an exception."

I need the checker removed from the cache page so that I will be able to use it for another.

Sorry. I thought it was a good challenge. Different and fun.

Can I get the link for the checker removed from this cache? GC73Q5H

The distance apart challenge is not being allowed.
