Geocache Description:


This puzzle has been set to coincide with the 2018 Hampshire Monthly Midweek Christmas Meet and will remain in place after the event.

The "culture" of celebrity and the associated "reality TV" is now very much part of the run up to Christmas. Whilst not strictly traditional, tastes change and whether you enjoy the programmes or not there is no getting away from it in the popular media.

Queen and Paul Rodgers recorded a song called C-lebrity on their 2008 Cosmos Rocks album, drummer Roger Taylor explains:

C-lebrity is really a comment on the current concept of fame, success, and all that goes with it. Getting your face on TV is enough—talent doesn’t really enter into the equation. "Celebrity" is an overused and devalued word today.

To solve the puzzle take a look at these celebrities, work out who they are and how their "celebrity" might help you determine the location of the cache.

Merry Christmas
