Description
Veruca Salt
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a 1964 children's book written by Roald Dahl, with a sequel Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator released in 1972. A third book in the series was never completed. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been made into 2 movies, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) starring Gene Wilder, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) starring Johnny Depp. They are both favourite films in my household. I'm sure we all know the story about the 5 Golden Tickets and the tour of the factory - as well as the interesting characters and of course the Oompa-Loomps and their quirky songs.
Veruca Salt - found the second Golden Ticket. A spoilt brat - and a totally Bad Egg / Nut (depending which film you are watching). The Oompla-Lumpas had their say about her...
OOMPA LOOMPA DOOMPADEE DOO

PAMPERED AND SPOILED LIKE A SIAMESE CAT

. So I did a number of GC and GCA caches along Nanima Road whih I had missed on earlier trips. Thank you for this big series Fitzy! A great effort. Most of the caches are still in good shape, a few are waterlogged and I will try to mention them here at the end if that is the case.

Enjoyed this series that kept us on our toes collecting clues and collating them right to the end. Even though a couple were missing we still managed to work out the mysteries.

The container was again located quickly in the place indicated by our GPS. The contents were in good condition.
We were almost back at the car when we remembered the necessary clue so had to return and repeat the process.
Thanks for this cache Fitzy_1965 we are enjoying our trip down Roald Dahl memory lane.
Thanks for the series.
Hence I started this series from the northern end and did have to add a few extra kilometres to complete them all, but a very pleasant drive in the country. I even got to have a chat with Just a Cacher and Black Bunny during my travels, so an added bonus.
Thanks Fitzy_65 for the fun and the cache.
Thanks for the series fitzy_165 ad our vote is for the Gene Wilder version.
Thanks for putting these out, FITZY_1965! It was a pleasant drive and fun to find them. We even ran into (not literally) Boot65, whilst we were out and about.
An easy find, and an easy park.
Timing finding between cars today was a PITA though. oh well!
TFTC Fitzy!
Brought back memories of watching both movies....with each being different in their approach to the story. Don't favour one over the other, just like both of them.
Thanks fitzy.....hadn't been down this road this far before, so good to explore a little further along it.....
