+Donmoore Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I was thinking about this the other day. i don't know why either so don't ask. So do you know anyone with any celebrity who caches? The lowest conntection should be local commercial radio or TV after that feel free to go right to the A list. Me i don't know any. So how about this for a caching resolution.. if you don't know anyone famous try this year to make at least one new famous cacher. Oh go on you know you want to! Quote Link to comment

+Sensei TSKC Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I think the OP wants to know about Celebrity cachers not ones we've seen whilst caching. Quote Link to comment
+*mouse* Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 After reading the other thread it looks like the Roving Rangies are winning at the moment - as they have been on telly and are cachers as well........ ......have to confess that as I have no interest in Range Rovers and don't have Sky telly I haven't heard of them though. Sorry guys! Quote Link to comment

+Donmoore Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 I think we are starting to head in the right direction. fair enough if you have met some celebs while caching but we want caching celebs or ones you converted to caching while you where caching and now they cache too. got it?

Unless she was cheering folks on, in a support role, or taking part in a race for the disabled - which I don't think the Bedford run has. I could be wrong though... Quote Link to comment
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Well errrm, yes, if she said, on the way back from taking part in the half marathon ... I go to Wimbledon most years, but I do nothing but spectate! Oh, I do some essential elbow exercises too, usually with a glass of Pimms! :D You may well be right though ... however, if it is not one and the same person, what an odd name to choose to cache by!

Unless she was cheering folks on, in a support role, or taking part in a race for the disabled - which I don't think the Bedford run has. I could be wrong though... Yes you're wrong. We did two geocaches "Steganocache - GCN72P" and "St James Round the Bend - GCJC3B" on March 19th 2006 having both run in the Forest of Dean Half Marathon that morning. It all depends on how fit you are. Quote Link to comment

Now I could be wrong, but you are now the person to clear this up. Is it the artist or someone using the name to cache under? This person may well become famous of some sort, then many Scottish cachers can claim to know a famous person who caches. Quote Link to comment

I thought he meant that she couldn't do a cache after having run a half marathon (assuming exhaustion) . She may well be famous I don't know? Quote Link to comment

+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 The artist of the same name has a considerable disability. Being a regular reader of "the disabled press" I have never seen the artist reported as being an athlete; but she could be for all I know. Somehow, I don't think so, but I really don't know. I guess we'll have to wait for someone to bump into the cacher of the same name to discover if it is one and the same person or not. Quote Link to comment
+currykev Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I have in fact had many caching experiences with various Lady Hollywood stars.From Greer Garson and Doris Day to the likes of Ann Sheridon and even the truly wonderful Myrna Loy...So yes there are many Celebrity Cachers.
