Hi, while the site (Project-GC) knows your approximate home location, the checker scripts do not have access to this info. So while there are challenges like this that existed before the rules came in, they would not be allowed now as it is impossible to make a checker for them.
Sorry :-(

OH, dear. That's too bad.
I will have to think of something else

Sorry, I have to correct GreyHams. This checker is possible without disclosing home coordinates.

Here is the link https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC85CM2/41568

The checker uses the Profile stats and the distance is only updated when the profile stats are updated
The distance is in km and is compared the accessible integer distance in km

Only works for cachers that have logged in on project-gc.com and have set homecoordinates. Else the checker will result in "Failed to execute script" error. The data id from the Profile stats badges and there distance will only be updated when the stats are generated.

The above might be a problem for your reviewer but in some area's the challenge is accepted

Please test and reply

I have tested the checker and got the green tick

The checker appears to find any one cache more than 10000ks from home
Is there a way to make it find 100 or more 100ks or more from home

Regards, Mark

[SeabreezeOZ](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=SeabreezeOZ) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC85CM2/41568 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.

My furthest cache is 14713 km from home and it had to be more then 10000 km.

I don't think this is possible, since it would require access to home coordinates. The current checker works because it uses data from a badge, but this wouldn't be applicable to your proposal.
