Geocache Description:

To find out the co-ordinates for this cache you will need to solve the following riddle by virtually touring around Wales.
As you progress there are questions to answer which will give you sets of numbers. Use these numbers to work out the co-ordinates.

With 'flaming words' make a move and find where Bart was born,
Seek where locals have a drink and place with dead or horn,
A turning at the start of day I hope it soon will dawn,
The place that you are needing is a chain that can be worn,

From nearby look out at one hundred degrees,
Travel along for 34 point 5 and tell me what you see,
Its lost its limbs but grown in size,
And now and again a wave will rise,

What runs alongside is shown on a map,
Follow it up and all the way back,
The tallest one you’ll see nearby,
Your journey now ends where land meets sky.

In what year was Bart born? 1abc
What is the geograph grid reference for the local? defg
At the chain that can be worn when was the nearby Victorian structure built? 1hij
It's lost it's limbs but what year did the new one open? 1klm
How many meters high is the tallest one? nop

The cache can be found at N51 3Q RST W003 1U VWX
Where
Q = G-C
R = I-P
S = B-A
T = F+C

U = E-P
V = D-F
W = L-E
X = M-K

The cache site can be approached from the cache listing co-ordinates which is a small carpark with a couple of picnic benches. This would give you a walk of about one mile down to the cache site.
The cache is a medium sized lunch box containing a log book and pen and small swaps.

Gps reception is very poor at ground zero so I have added a spoiler pic.
