It Ain't Chocolate! (#11) Claremont, Tasmania, Australia
By Cached on 01-May-05. Waypoint GCNPWN

Couldnt find this one. looks like the whole area has been cleared. Maybe should check its still about?

Sorry, thought I archived this one after the last DNF.

This cache went from bad to badder. First Diane found closed doors at the nearby establishment. It started to rain, we arrived at gz and we have to agree with the last log, it looks like this one may have gone. There are a lot of recent works in the area and nowhere to be seen a 1.5 hidey hole that hasn't been disturbed. The crappy container may have been buried.

you best check that its still there. A lot of landscaping right over gz. trees and stumps removered.

not entirely convinced this crappy cache is here anymore as someone has gone and cut a few trees in the area. can someone bloody see if it's still here?
*Ordex kicks stuff*

Filled the pockets with chocolate and found it. Really great hiding place. Found it by stumple upon it
TFTC

there was no tour today and we spend to much money for chocolate. i love rocky roads chocolate. tft ugly c.

Second Tasmanian cache. They really should tell you before they cancel the tours. Done as part of Merekats. NoTFTC.

#126 - Travelled all the way from the ACT to discover that we couldn't even tour the factory. We only got cheap second rate chocolate. The Smiley TB we wanted to leave in the cache didn't even fit. If we hadn't detoured here, for no reason, we would have had time to try the cable hang gliding at the Tahune air walk ... oh why do we bother? [:(!]
Thanks for the extra kilos ...

Found this crappy Cache after travelling all the way from NSW to find out the big factory has stopped running tours as from last Friday. TFT(crappy)C

Found your ugly poo coloured cache. Was looking forward to a nice factory tour but factory was closed for maintenance (Thanks for the phone call, I only booked 8 weeks ago). Geotoddler added dirt to the cache to show her displeasure.

Found 14:50, for fear of having our log deleted we will simply say, CSI=0, TNLN, and why did you put a cache here

Forgot to log that the Mutant Oompaloompa had a visit to this cache and the near by factory.

Found this crappy cache on the way to the chockie factory.
TFTH

Well that has to be the crappiest cache I have seen, spent all that time for what, just a load of ****, well I never, thats right never again will I waste my time on this one.
Visited 2 travelling companions & thay could not wait to get out of there.

Can easily say "not nice" things as a) we couldn't find it and b) the factory was closed so couldn't get our fix!

Found @ 10:45
What a $hitty cache. And here I was expecting chocolate. Found with muggle Dad who moaned and complained about the walk.

What? NOT chocolate? Awwwww, poooooo. It's all SG-3's fault: he had the cache description. If I'd read it I wouldn't have bothered.

I still can't believe there's no chocolate. TNLN. Not even chocolate.

Just to spite this poor choice of location, we took generous sips of a competitor's soft drink, as we contemplated the miserable weather, and the whole sense of disappointment this whole cache infused... pathetic really.

Stupid Cache. Looked at it, even handled it, and thought - that piece of crap can't be a cache, and spent too much time looking elsewhere, where my gps wasn't taking me, until realising where I'd gone wrong. What an unimpressive, worthless good for nothing cache!

Log your visit indeed.
Whats this meant to mean? log a log?
If it had been a chocolate log it would of been worth it.

Caches that have logging requirements give me the irrits. On principal I found the cache and pretended to enjoy the experience of looking for a cache beside a fresh dump of dog poo. So there.

Crap cache in a crap location! Got a massive cramp in my leg climbing back up the bank on the way back to the car, so the whole experience was unpleasant and painful from start to finish. Thanks anyway.

Well can't say the visiting Queenslanders were impressed ith the spot but the visit to the factory was quite enjoyable and I guess your creativity could be commended. From MadMoo and Bonkersbear here is their contribution.
Scooby Dooby Do did a ***
Shaggy thought it was chocolate too
Shaggy took a bite
His face turned white
That was the end of poor Shaggy!!

Don't know why we bothered but a cache is a cache I suppose can't be bothered writing anything else, SO

Yea not in the Blackberries but not much better and the container I wasn't sure if I shoud touch it - imaginative. Not much of a parking spot, not much of a walk and next to a factory; could be better. Gspblu feels the same. Thanks? for the cache TNLN - didn't want to.

Did the tour - and got ruled and regulationed out by a bored and bossy tour guide - so then tried to brighten the freezing, rainy day by a spot of caching. Ground covered in long, wet grass or slippery, slimy mud AND blackberries. The eventual consolation was that the cache was found before having lunch - no appetite is good for us dieters!!

we had to wait for this one - there were two muggles on bikes riding backwards and forwards all through this area - wherever we moved they appeared. we retreated to the cachemobile for some refreshments and were able to head back a while later. mmmm, interesting container. TFTC

If it ain't chocolate, then what is it? (Honestly, I'd love to know!)

At last a cache log that can be the scapegoat for all the crap caches we have ever done in our short careers. Micros where containers could be. In the grass. In the blackberries. Lousy views. Long walks with no real purpose etc etc. It was however a beautiful day and we managed to book into one of the last available tours for the next 3 days.

Talk about getting your priorities wrong!! we actually done the tour befor setting off for the cache!! TNLN

This was a nice quick easy one just after we completed the tour in the nearby aforementioned big ugly factory. We liked the container too.

Twenty-eighth of thirty-one finds on a very enjoyable day in Hobart, after parting company with Snuva's female slave. If this cache had been worth any more than a pinch of c*&p, or should I say 'chocolate', I wouldn't have been able to find it at night. If the camo had been worth more than a pinch of 'chocolate', I wouldn't have been able to see it at night. Just as well I did it at night, because I suspect the view was 'chocolate' as well! The swaps were so 'chocolatey' that I made no exchange. All-in-all a 'chocolatey' cache. I was there at 2050. Thanks to Cached for the cache. Cheers, dak.

My maintainer has checked the cache and it's there, laying around like the piece of c*&p that it is.

There aren't many blackberries, and when there are - you don't need to go through them...

Was in the area waiting for AnaSwamp, so I thought I'd check out the area to see if the cache was still there (memory not that bad, remembered it was unavailable).

Sure enough, it is there. Looks like someone has set up a mountain bike circuit in the vicinity, so watch out for bikes. And the area has been cleaned up, slashed, rubbish gone but cache still in-situ.
Now I find Cached's maintainer has checked also. Oh, well...

Couldn't find it looks like the council have been removing black berries and had a fire there last week.
May need to check if is still there.

See if my maintainer can get to it. Be surprised if it's gone though...

its a cache where you putt it somewhere and you find it but i couldnt find it because they burnt off all through there so thanks for a hole lot of nothing

Was in the area to get my registration for the marathon the next day - but there was no one around!
Wanted to tour the factory - it's not open until the day after we leave the state!
Found this cache - wasn't worth the effort!
At least it wasn't raining & the guard gave us a free chockie for our trouble (only a bite size one though).
I think I put the wrong date on my log, but who cares anyway - thanks for nothing!!

Found with Tealby - wish I hadn't bothered & had just stayed in the car & played my DS!

Short search netted this disgusting excuse for a cache in a crappy spot next to a cruddy factory.On the nose..purile..vile..arghhh...dogs vomit...not even any swaps..unbelievable..but true.TFTD(ISGUSTING) Cache Cheers Cached.

I would have to say this is the crappiest cache that I have ever seen, in fact if it wasn't for the lack of toilet paper and flies I would call this one, a turd under a log.
The swaps are non-existent, I would rather have gone into the dirty big factory next to this one, than waste my time with crap.
I would thank you for the cache, if I didn't have to expend the energy to do so, so I will not bother. I may or may not have signed the log, I can't remember, it's not worth expending the energy for that either.

[ Great choccy smells but couldn't find the cache.]

aaaaargh!wish i didnt do this crappy cache,i turd this cache was on ye' nose,me parrot can do better turds than that container!thanks for nothing!

Second visit here and I cant believe I bothered to return on a hot 31 degree day. Disgusting spot. This sure aint chocolate and the stuff made next door aint either!

If only it really was what it looked like, Aloysius woulden't have been so happy when he grabbed it. Thanks for the cache

piece of s**t cache in a cruddy riverside spot. exactly what i have come to expect fom cached caches.TNLN whored along down the road.

This stupid cache was a complete waste of my time. I can not believe we bothered to stop here.

I don't think I will bother coming by next time I am in town to try and make the find.

Grrrrr.

first cache found as principal cachee. oops is that positive? Might look like chocolate, sure don't taste like chocolate.

Found on a lovely Winter's day with accomplices. There was wet grass, blackberries, mud, and a cache that would be perfectly at home somewhere near a training ground for giant dogs.... TN since there was bugger all to take, LN 'coz I couldn't be bothered, and SL begrudgingly. Thanks for nothing.....

what is more stupid than taking a dump fair smack bang in the centre of a blackberry bush.

Ps. I think you swallowed a jar and a book.

ozw

Why did I do it? I had to park so far away, and then to find such a revolting cache - it was a waste of time! And energy! I'd be better off at home toasting my feet and eating timtams. How ridiculous to expect people to leave their warm and comfortable homes to wrestle the blackberries for this and what for? - for nothing! Not a swap to be seen. It was a disgrace. Thanks Cached - for nothing!

Visited today to check coords and perform any required maintenance.

Was going to remove due to the blackberries, but locals assured me this was unnecessary, so have left in place.

All good - took coords again, but seems they are exactly the same.

[well after the stings went, I decided to return to see if that thing I saw was the cache and lo and behold, it was. no wonder I didnt get it the first time, wh in their right mind would pick that thing up!!!!]

As it was so aptly put by a previous visit (cant remember who) I signed the log that was in a log that was under a log

Couldnt find the wretched thing, but i did see a dog turd like thing and i now think it may have been it, but is it worth going back for???? not in my books it aint and every little prickle sting on my legs and arms agrees!!!!

I did find a golf ball and a letter box, can that count in this instance.

Fabsio

I could sh!t a better cache!

What a place to send poor unsuspecting cachers - right past the toxic waste burning plant, through the local trash heap and into the prickles. Just to get a crappy container - that now has a mutant frog sticker (been hanging around the toxic waste area too long - just wait until the press hear about this!!).

Found on way to event.

Don't know why I bothered though. It was raining and I go muddy and then caught up in the blackberries.

Almost didn't pick up that peice of crap but the numbers made me do it.

Ana says it is disgusting, foul and there are inchmen there that bite. Ana wouldn't touch it. There are so many prickles there, it was unbelievable. Roman got bitten, screamed and bawled his eyes out and said he was never going caching again. After some compensation (food), about 45mins later the bite was just a red spot on his foot.
What a waste of time this cache was. If anyone else is thinking of looking for this cache, forget it, don't bother, Dad says its not worth the petrol.

Being a newcomer to the sport of geocaching I was intrigued to find out how bad this cache could possibly be especially after reading all those negative comments. I must say if this is what its all about then I might just as well give it away right now! After a short walk through the cadbury parklands we battled through the long wet grass infested with blackberry bushes, swarms of bloodsucking mozzies, mud and stinging nettles and goodness knows what else, we finally found the foul thing that is supposed to be a geocache. Our 4yo thought it was a dog turd! Yuk. For one brief moment I thought I may have discovered a coprolite (fossilised dinosaur droppings) but no I was mistaken. This has turned me off chocolate forever! Grosso. Did I really sign that log? Gosh I've really lowered my standards.

An nice find loved the container wanted to give it a lick YUM

SL

I was in the area, did another cache, and figured I'd check this one out. What a dissapointment. After getting past the thorns I found the cache container, which looks like something you just plucked out of the river. I mean, really, couldn't you have gone to more effort? And no chocolate! And then, as I finish writing in the log, it starts to rain. Then it starts to pour. But when I get back to the car it stops: did you somehow organise this brief downpour too?

I can't believe I touched that thing!! YUK!!!

This cache was absolutely pathetic! I was expecting a scenic walk, a beautiful day and a slightly challenging find! It was boring! The river, what I could see of it, was dirty and yuck. The weather was awful (honestly, if you'd wanted to make a cache in a place with nice weather, you shouldn't have chosen Hobart!) A path led me right to the cache, but every seconds step I took was hindered by the thorns of some type of berry bush! I wouldn't even bother 'finding' (if you could call it that) this cache! It is not worth your time!

Its pretty much a bad idea to have it just outsied the factory. Everybody comes out feeling really sick, and THEN they go on the walk to find the cache!! Not a good thing!:P

It's disgraceful that a cache located so close to the Cadbury's factory didn't contain any chocolate. In addition, after gorging ourselves of samples during the tour, the sight of this ugly container almost pushed us over the edge.
The accuracy of placement was pathetic - I mean my GPS was reading less than 10m when we found it. How is my niece, for whom this was only her 2nd, supposed to find it with that sort of inaccuracy. We expect a 0m reading when we find caches. We hope there is some improvement in future - but we're not hopeful.
We didn't think this cache was worthy in which to leave any of our precious $2 items.
No thanks at all to you.

found by cachingdynamo, the name really says it all, it sure ain't chocolate, yuck!

Blackberries, i hate blackberries, I have the scratches to prove it (damn dad still sent me in)

It sure Ain't

Rated: for Overall Experience

We put this cache to find for quite sometime. We have had a bad feeling about this cache because of it's negative descriptions. What we like is positive attitudes. Anyway, we went, we found and we were hesitate to touch because of it's look (you know what we meant). And disaster streaked. Worst part of Polfil lost one lens of his spectacle. What a BEAUTIFUL day!!

Well I ain't eating it!!! we found this after a quick bite to eat, but i wish we hadn't now it nearly made me hurl, lol... what is this thing????

Blackberries, Prickles, damn scratchy things, I blame you Cached, for introducing southern cachers to blackberries, they all think it's fun to place caches in prickles now, grrr!

T- everything that was in the cache (nothing)
L- nothing worth mentioning

Thanks for the scratches.

Found it. Where does el golco send the cleaning and repair bills? TNLNSL

After pleasant experience finding Ancient Artefacts el golco approached this one with a positive attitude and caching-granny on board.

Left caching-granny to look after cache-mobile and followed GPSr past the warning sign and towards GZ.

Well! the recent rain has produced even more weeds and the prickles are thriving and the litter is accumulating and athough el golco kept a lookout for the worst possible thing NOTHING was found.[:(!]

el golco is spending the evening darning the pulled threads in the nearly new trousers through to the inside!

And, what is the worst aspect of this cache? el golco will probably be submitted to this performance as many times over as it takes to find this cache.

Thanks a million cached for taking advantage of our addiction to this activity.

found this one a half hour after tugging prince, really addicted now

13 sure is unlucky if you find this cache. Quilter does not repair blackberry tears in clothing!

IT AIN'T CHOCOLATE !!!!!

Obviously not missing...

Oops - should read my email first.

It was there - it's kinda inaccessible at the moment.

Grabbed this one. Didn't realise it was temp disabled at the time! (Just proves it *was* actually still there then?)Cache looked a bit like something our canine friends would leave behind

Bloody blackberries . . . .

Have requested my maintainer take a look.

Temp offline to confirm if it's there or not.

No find! Lots of obvious recent muggle bike track building, including a ramp about 5 feet high to jump off. Found a bong (dutch courage for jump?), found a letterbox (do Aust Post really deliver mail here?), found empty chocolate wrappers (waste dumping from factory?), found empty chip packets - obviously not chocolate! No cache or logbook found.

How much digging around should one have to do? Especially while trying to avoid detection by muggles with loud airhorns in cars, belching and being disgusting. I thought the factory was meant to be the ugly one.

Quilter

Wow what an absolute crappy spot. Went next door to the ugly factory first and made ourselves sick, I think this may have hampered our searching capability. Wandered around a bit, was sick again, sat for awhile but the view was crappy and made us sick again. In the end didnt find it and dont care, cache was only crappy ....... wasnt it?




Hope that satisfies the log criteria.

Thanks Cached for making us sick

Gave up my lunch break to look for this one on a cold and wet day. Got my work shoes wet and have probably ripped my new trousers. And couldn't even find it. What a crap cache!

Found this under my previous incarnation as a Cheesy Pig

Not impressed. Seriously not impressed. Not only did Mrs CP come away with darned blackberry thorns sticking into various soft bits (dont ask!), I think one's become infected. Also got covered with SPIDERS!!!! There are people with phobias who shouldn't go anywhere near this cache!!! AAArrrggghh.

The cache itself looked like somebody needed to bury it. Erk. Thanks for nothing. This one sucked!

Left without will to live, took umbrage signed log

[This entry was edited by Cheesy pigs on Sunday, June 19, 2005 at 12:28:27 AM.]

YUK! I'm not touching that. Is it something the mutant chocolate monster left behind? No security gaurds today but the weather was turning horid and the missery of it all.

I cant believe a daughter of mine would hide a cache like this. Oh the shame of it! Jantas said I was to have the will changed ASP but then Sam would be in it.
To top it off as soon as we found the cache it started to rain as you would expect in Hobart. So we went to the casino and gave them some of the kids inheritence.
I apologise on behalf of the other members of the family.

This cache has to be the shittiest, most disgusting cache that I have ever had the displeasure of finding.

The prickles were bad enough, but then to find the first page of the log book smeared with 'someone's' blood?? Yuck!!! A cacher wouldn't know what revolting bacteria they could 'pick up' here!!

Left unmentionable thoughts.
Took nothing worth remembering.

Thanks for zilch, Cached.

What can I say, I needed cheering up after the Saints were overrun in the last quarter and thought this would be good to cheer us up. Cache was in an obvious location and, while writing the log, a security guard appeared popped up 20m away to see what we were doing. I said we would be moving on soon and wrote the log in a rush. Then off home to find Waterwells reporting a possum had attached "Domain Secrets". What further bad luck can you place on us for doing this cache Cached?

[Geeeeez, what a crap cache!

Rocked up in the cachemobile, couldn't find a place to park within 500m because of the NO STANDING signs, had to go and do the exercise track(!) adn I'm not even an employee, HUH!

Finally found this huge geo-highway that didn't even go anywhere near the cache (whats the point of a geo-highway without a cache, I ask ya??)

Some old codger with a couple of mangy looking furballs he called dogs turned up and says "Why dontcha go ova thar where tha cashy thing is" pointing towards the blackberry bushes] and the old broken PO recepticle [and the 20m cliffface (is cliffface 1 word or two?).

Finally found the damn thing after the old geezer poked it with a stick and said "Dont touch that, you dunno where its bean"

Tehn I found out how really crap this cache was... you can't even get the logbook out. I tell ya, that Cached musta use one of them hydrolic press thingys to get that log in there.

I was so disgusted by that cache I ain't even gooona correct my spullign errors ( because I know that mishtakes is wrong).

Took panadol for the headache, left cursing and in a bad mood and scribbled a log entry through the end of the cache.

And to add insult to injury, some SLAVE, no less, was FTF - whats that all about? No-one told me that I could have a SLAVE go and find the nasty caches while I stand back shouting instuctions and cracking a whip (Oooh, I like that idea!) AND.... the slave left blood all around the place - someone could get a nasty disease or sumthin't.

I wasn't even gonna record this entry but it will serve any that may follow - DON'T!!!!

(all references to actual person living or dead are purely co-incidental, this log entry supervised by the animal humane society and no animals were harmed during the making of this log entry. Written, spoken and authorised by no-one in particular)]

So, I found it, what of it?

Umm, orac7000, don't you actually need to FIND a cache to claim FTF??? So Snuva claims FTF!!!

What can I say! You think you know someone - let them dirty the sheets in the spare room, drive them around in the dark to seek caches - and how is Snuva rewarded?! At least this shouldn't be hard to maintain - who would take it?!

I arrive near the location with my female slave and smell caches in the vacinity - and there's the TweetMobile. Grrh. orac7000 was even trying to disguise himself with an obviously fake beard! However they hadn't found it and were zipping off to take in a flick - still hope for Snuva!

We get within 30m - and the batteries on the GPSr die. Grrh! The female slave has had batteries on her constantly for a month and a half while overseas, but this morning had taken them out before going to work. Grrh! We assumed it was worth going for immediately as the tweets would be kept busy in the film, so headed home for batteries, then drove back. And this cache is SO BAD that even the songs on the radio were awful! Can you believe it!!!

FINALLY get back to GZ, and it was such a bad hide that Snuva found it almost immediately. But FINDING and REACHING were different things; there were some nasty thorny branches in the way. Do we go around or through? Well, why do you think I cache with slaves! Sent the female slave through the thorns even though she was protesting that she thought she saw a clear way to the cache. Slave grabbed it; yes, that's her blood on the first page of the logbook! So Snuva's first to FIND - not first to be in the general area! She rehid, then. . . oops - she was so caught up in thorns, we were beginning to think we'd have to wait until orac7000 returned to help her get out! She finally made it out herself (I wasn't going to help and risk getting a thorn in my paw!) and returned to hear more bad tunes bursting out of the cacheMobile's radio - strangely enough, the music improved the further we got from the cache! All in all, why bother!

(Humm Cached, surprisingly easy to take an adventurous caching experience, decide to be negative, and the log just seems to flow. Good thing I refuse to learn lessons or I might have to think about that. . .)

[This entry was edited by Snuva on Tuesday, May 03, 2005 at 11:09:43 PM.]

Arrived on site to realize that I would get FTF, so SweetiTweeti and I decided that going to a movie would be a much better idea. After all, it's only about the numbers, right! Snuva arrived just as we were leaving, so that stategy worked. The movie was great, the cache, well, I found it. As there was no swaps in there, we swapped even this time. Did the deed, took pain, left blood, signed log. Went home. An uneventful finish to a good night.
