Geocache Description:


I've been allowed to add another to this puzzling series but I fear I may be lowering the tone so much that I won't be asked again.

As usual the cache is not at the given co-ords but is a short walk away from this public transport centre.

Your first task is to identify the following six people:

   A Radio 2 presenter who flirted briefly with competitive dancing.

   A Radio 3 presenter who was a newscaster until 2010.

   A classical singer who rehearses upstairs?

   Someone ignored by banks after 1971.

   A spitting image who became a dead ringer.

   A former MP celebrated by Victoria Wood.

All six are connected by a three word expression but that would be far too easy. You need to find another three word connector linking four of them.

Keeping your selected four in the same order calculate the alphabetical value (A=1 Z=26)of the two initials of their names and add the associated single digit number to give you A to D. E is the alphabetical value of the initial letters of the three word connector.

The cache is hidden near a very appropriate place at:

   N 54 58.2*(A to E)-A-B W 001 37.3*(A to E)-B

8/6/20 As the original cache has disappeared I've hidden the replacement in a slightly different place and amended the hint and the calculation so if you've already solved the puzzle but not found the cache you'll have to rework your figures.
