Description
Mr and Mrs Beauregarde
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.
Mr and Mrs Beauregarde - in the 1971 Film Mr Beauregarde is a fast talking used-car salesman who goes with Violet to the factory, while in the 2005 version Mrs Beauregarde (Scarlett) goes with her.
This series of caches plays homage to the ultimate fantasy - owning your own Chocolate Factory - and the final reward for this series is just that! There are three sets of six Traditional Caches, each with a clue to the seconds of a Mystery Cache. Find the three Mystery Caches, and you unlock the key to the final Mystery Cache - The Chocolate Factory !
This set contains the following:
Trad - GA10125 - Augustus Gloop - with the value of G
Trad - GA10126 - Mr and Mrs Gloop - with the value of H
Trad - GA10127 - Veruca Salt - with the value of J
Trad - GA10128 - Mr and Mrs Salt - with the value of K
Trad - GA10129 - Violet Beauregarde - with the value of L

Enjoy !

After the FTF adventure on Spring Hill this morning at sunrise, I still had some time before I was expected back at home - better not get back too early and wake them 
. 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.

After a great visit to Shellharbour parkrun volunteering to as marshal I left home rather late with a full packed car for a long weekend of caching. Took matrass, boat and walking/climbing gear so prepared for most situations. Slowly made my way through the highlands to pick up pieces here and there and then a quick run towards Canberra. Most of today's planning however was just outside the ACT but close to the border . Picked up the trails around Murumbateman and then towards Hall. Got pretty warm along the day, I think I saw 38 at some point. Luckily no long walks and all caches found quick, thanks for putting them out there! unfortunately logbook had been wet, now dry, but pages sticking together and impossible to read the value of N

The new film is my favourite.

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.
Many thanks Fitzy_1965for publishing this cache and adding to our geocaching experience.

We found this series while staying in Yass on our way to the Mega TFTC
Out by myself today as Joolay is back at work, so decided to come back and finish this seeries. Unfortunately the first one was missing and I had already done 3,4,5 and 6 but I had lost the the required information so had to do them again. It was good to gather the required information from this cache and apply it to the given formula which enabled me to find the mystery caches. TFTC Fitzy_1965. Great series. SL

A beaut series of caches leading to multiple puzzles and then a final puzzle grab. Really well set up - thanks Fitzy
Went out with KittyKatch and Joolay today to pick up this series, taking down the clues as we go missed a couple because of DNF's though we can work it out with 3 brains... I hope so. I really enjoyed this series with the puzzles mixed in very smart and makes it more fun. Thanks for hiding and maintaining these caches. An awesome series and puzzles FITZY_1965

Found with Kittykatch and Darzee Di on a SoN GA finding day. Very interesting series and appreciated the effort the CO has gone to. We did do a bit of back and forwarding but eventually worked things out.

After our disappointing visit to Violet's cache we were pleased to be able to find her parents cache quickly. We had again to park carefully as there was not much space on the road side and we have our street car with us this trip and it is not happy to go rough.
The cache was found in good condition and the final number obtained. It was then back to the car to try and piece together a set of useful coordinates that would enable us to locate Charlie's cache and the next piece of information that would help us to locate the Chocolate Factory.

I haven't done many GCA caches, so this trail was an incentive. Started at the highway and followed the trail in order. All caches found OK. Still a little wet on the roadsides, but with care it was OK.
Thanks for the series.

With no rain as per the forecast, I decided to head out this way after checking out a few element caches.
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.

Out today with Just a cacher to grab this series and make the most of a pleasant day. Most caches were a quick park and grab after finding a suitable spot to park and all caches were nice and dry after the rain of yesterday. Bumped into Boot65 while on the series run and had a quick chat before heading our separate ways.
Thanks for the series fitzy_165 ad our vote is for the Gene Wilder version.

Off for another short foray into the world of pain and misery (caching). Weather was much better today, though, and we stopped to eat our lunch at an oval where there was a soccer game going on. Nice to have a floor show.
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.

#GA1698 - 15:03; This is my second attempt to pick up this well named series. After running out of daylight yesterday, I made it back out this afternoon to continue the mission. Unfortunately due to a lack of time and the real possibility of rain I only managed to add another eight to the tally today. Picked up the last piece of the puzzle with this one and after making the calculations, headed off to pick it up as the rain came closer. TFTC fitzy_1965

An easy find, and an easy park.
Timing finding between cars today was a PITA though. oh well!

Saw this series published yesterday and decided to grab a few today. Managed to grab the first 2 sets of 6 with their corresponding puzzle but ran out of time for the other 8, so will need to come back on the weekend for those. No problems find any of the 14 today, with finds on both sides of the road all being found quite quickly.
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.....
