A simple offset cache in an interesting location - the former Aberdare Central Colliery site. The park has seen better days since the area was refurbished, looks to have become somewhat of a motorcross track in places, but it has plenty of history.
As this is a multi (or offset) cache, the above co-ordinates are not of the actual cache. To find the cache all you need to do is count the number of steel steps up the side of this large structure. Once you have the number you need to work out the following ->
South Decimals: subtract 4 from the number of steps, then add this number to the original South co-ordinates decimal.
East Decimals: Divide the number of steps by 10, and square your answer (multiply this number by itself). Add this from the East co-ordiates decimal.
Now you have the cache co-ordinates. Happy Hunting!
Please be sure to replace cache as found to guard against muggling and the forces of nature.
Please BYO pen or pencil. There was some broken glass along the walking tracks when I placed the cache as well as remnants of bygone days, so keep an eye out.

This is Version 2 of the cache final location, the first was canned because of unexpected and long-lasting flooding. There weren't a lot of good places to put it so it has become a micro for now. Stealth now required.
Please note: The final location is urban cache in a muggle frequented area. Stealth / good timing is normally required. The cache is hidden so muggles should not find it, please try not to give away the location or create unwanted attention - people may be watching!
