Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the given coordinates, these are for a private lake called "Kingsmere".


Person X lives in Berkshire, but not near this cache.

Person X was not born British and is well known as being from the country of his birth, where he was a junior national sporting champion before he moved to Britain.

Person X has been awarded an OBE, a CBE and also an MBE. He was also made a King for a short while some years ago.

Person X had the tune of one of his songs "borrowed" by a British Rock Band. At the time nobody seemed to realise and the song went to No. 1 in the British Charts. Many years later an Out of Court settlement was apparently reached. (If you didn't know this previously I strongly recommend you listen to both tracks to make up your own mind - both are easily and freely found on a well known video website).

Despite Person X being very well known for his music, he may actually be even better known for several other reasons, and I have seen him listed as having six different occupations.

AB = YY of Person X's Date of Birth (as in DD/MM/YY)
CD = YY that Person X's first child was born
EF = YY that Person X became King

G = A + C
H = E - F

Cache is at: N 51° 22.GAD W 000° 48.HBE
