Dafydd (we are in Wales after all), led a generally happy life with one exception - the death of his son before his own demise! So a brief summary of his life goes something like this:
Dafydd's youth lasted exactly one sixth of his entire life and, as many young men do, he toyed with the idea of growing a beard but it took him another twelth of his life to get round to doing it. After one seventh more he met the lady of his dreams and married. 5 years later to both their delight, his wife gave birth to a bouncing baby boy.
And so Dafydd and his family lived their lives for many years until one day disaster struck and his son suddenly and tragically died, having lived exactly half as long as his father eventually would, who died four years later.
So there you have it, Dafydd's story in a nutshell. All you need to do now is answer the simple questions below to find out the values to put into the co-ordinates equation, to find the cache (which isn't in a nutshell!)
A = Subtract the first digit from the second digit of Dafydd's age at the end of his youth.
B = Add together the two digits of the age when Dafydd ended his youth.
C = How old was Dafydd when he married? Add together the two digits in that age.
D = The second digit of the age Dafydd grew a beard.
E = The first digit minus the second digit of the age Dafydd was when he grew his beard.
F = What age was his son when he died. Take the second digit from the first of his age.
Replace the letters in the following co-ords for the numerical answers you have found, in the usual manner: N51 48.ABC W003 00.DEF
