Famous Berkshire Residents #20 - Crowded House Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

DarenCollins: Probably has gone missing and with the retirement from the BBC today after 25 glorious years it’s time to retire this one.
In case you hadn’t worked it out - it was Carol Kirkwood and the Star Trek reference was Bones as Napier was her Alma Mater and he was famous for his mathematical tool cage Napiers bones.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the published coordinates.
I have written a poem to describe the mystery Berkshire resident.

From the west coast of Scotland,
She's their local 'Monroe',
Both in beautiful looks,
To some great peaks below.

Sometimes at Ascot
Or Centre Court Stand,
In wellies or heels,
She's the best in the land.

She's a warm front approaching,
On a cold winter's night,
She's the glow from a fire,
She's a warm, cosy light.

When the Spring showers come,
She's the joy as you dash,
She's the shelter you find,
When the rain starts to lash.

She whispers her H's,
Like a hush through the trees,
Carried along by,
A soft summer breeze.

Rays from the Sun,
Are no match for her smile,
She's the sparkle-ing gem,
In our green sceptered Isle.

On bonfire night,
She's the fun and the fizzle,
She's the firework show,
In the late Autumn drizzle.

She's the girl for all seasons,
For the cache, she's the key,
Just a quick note of caution,
You will have to climb tree.
Assume N 51 21 W 000 47

There is an obvious link to the USS Enterprise. A less obvious but similar link exists via her Alma Mater.
Using the numerical value of the letters of this less obvious link, the Northings can be found using [(1st + 2nd + 3rd) x 4th] + 5th
For the Westings, take the day she was born add one, double it and multiply by the month she was born
