Sumped (Nelson/Marlborough) Dodson Valley, South Island, New Zealand
By Kiwi-Nomad on 28-Jan-09. Waypoint GC1M6EP

Can this cache be re-enabled ? its still their as it was and now the work has been done on the sight the fences are gone and the landscaping is all finished I checked it yesterday and put in a new log book cord are the same .. PRETTY PLEASE

In the middle of a construction site but still there. A challenge to find and nicely hidden.

Busy road, was a little nervous but found it after a short search. Well hidden

As there's been no cache to find for some time, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Don't archive this yet. The cache is still viable. Have been working on the area and, despite all the activity, the cache is unharmed. Should be accessable again around May.

It is time this cache was archived, it has been disabled too long

Construction will be up for a wee while yet. Redoing pump station.

Cache is ok but the area around the cache has a temporary fence up as they are doing construction work in the area hopefully not for too much longer will keep you posted

Had a look today hopefully its only a temp fence while they are doing some earth works on site will keep a eye open to see what happens when its finished..

may be the end of this one. big fence being put up

Good one

circled a time or two. Read some of the other logs and thought Ah Ha. Soon had cache in hand. TFTC

Compass said 2m. Looking around...........surely not.....yes it was! Another goodie. TFTC.

Couldn't find it last year, but now I have found a couple of kiwi nomads, so found it thanks

Had us scratching our heads! Pleased we persevered and tracked it down!!

Another great Kiwi Nomad hide. TFTC!

Yeh we found it, after reading a few of the other who have found could not give up, very very clever

Really stinky here today. We checked all the usual places and were about to leave when I went to check a few logs on my phone and realised it was a K-N cache so a change of strategy was formed and the cache was quickly found. [red] A fav of course[/red] Thanks for the cache
[purple]Our cache find: #2811[/purple] | [green]Cache of the Day: 19/37[/green] | [blue]Cache of our trip: 56/224[/blue]

Will have to come back, will keep a watch and see if anyone else finds it.

Clever. Tftc

A new find with my novice friends a great cache to start. Cherrs

I think my dad had x -ray vision as he was just giving some thoughts on other K-N hides and the example he gave led us straight there.

Another awesome cache from our favourite cacher.

Tricky but found it!

stumped

A quick stop and grab in a familiar place. On our way to Picton now, all cache owners, thanks for the efforts!

Thanks for the cache

Very cool. TFTC

Finally returned to knock this one off. Quick find as I already found it some time ago. TFTC

Third time lucky, TFTC

It takes a lot of will power to admit defeat when the hint is 'too easy'

Too easy indeed. Found It in 10 seconds. Tftc

A clever hide! A bit woofy here today, Loobie was more interested in the plum tree nearby (which smelt far more pleasant!). TFTC

Needed a gas mask today lol tftc merry xmas

On the way to Nelson with hopes of another dot-day, beating PB, busting past 1400
Nice hide, cleverly done
Worth a fave

Hard find. I was first to record on the sheet. Maybe a new sheet. It's my first time. Those who doesn't know about geocaching will never find it!

Was found in dark so not 100% but didn't appear to be log book or pencil. Great camo though!!

checked cache log book still their but replaced with new bag,pencil and log book all good to go!

All fixed up ready to go again

Remove the needs maintenance tag

Will check/replace once I get back from holiday

Muggled! Cover missing, log gone just the bag and pencil remain.

even though it says easy I found it really hard
maybe next time

Replace bag, log and pencil, nice to see it all painted up too

First for the day on our way to blenheim

Smelt a bit at GZ, but I thought that the container was very well camo’d! TFTC

I like the container, "redants" was the one to spot it first. SL TFTC.

Found after a short search. Wasn't sure what sort of thing I would be looking for and hadn't looked to see who had placed it. When I did find the elegantly crafted and camouflaged cache I thought it had all the hallmarks of a Kiwi-Nomad cache and sure enough it was Quite a smell of sewage from the nearby feature so I didn't hang around too long. Signed log, TFTC and it gets a favourite point.

Great hide, needs pencil. TFTC

A nice find while out with my lady, TFTC.

Log book is all but full. Plastic bag no longer seals, but excellent camo hidding will keep it safe until maintenance is done.

Beautiful, warm night to stroll down Dodson Valley Road. This is the second of three caches found this evening. TFTC!

Just arriving in Nelson for the night. Cache #51 for the day. I was aiming for 50 but thought I'd find a few extra caches for good measure. Quickly found. Clever camo. TFTC.

I missed this one last time I was in the area, so took a short walk this morning and had a quick find. TFTC

Great hide! Really like this one. Log book is pretty full. TFTC

Cheeky tftc

Another sneaky hide. I do enjoy these sort. Beautiful morning to be out caching.
Many thanks

Good use of existing man made features. Very close to busy road so lots of juggles.

After a trip to Nelson town the weather is not improving. We need to be in Picton this evening so have decided as there is not much else to do in clouds and drizzle to cache our way there. NZ has such great open spaces.

The day began rainy and cloudy but nevertheless I started a tour for geocaching this morning. From Nelson to the French Pass and up to Haveloc the way led me. Along there were a lot of great caches showing nice places and making this day a lot of fun with wet feet. Thanks to all owners for making this experience possible!

On my way to Hira to pick up some lambs. Bit early so took the time to grab a cache. Figured any opportunity to grab a kiwi-nomad is worth grabbing. Cool hide, Cheers!

Found at 1:44 PM GAFF1 in the company of Phetlern. We finally arrived in Nelson, but unfortunately we didn't spend too much time in the town as we needed to get to our camping spot before 5.00pm - our knock off time!
Thanks kiwi-nomad

Two weeks of traveling in the South Island in company with Pprass has shown us the wonderful natural side of New Zealand. A very novel hide but it didn't fool P-P. We've awarded a favorite point for ingenuity and design.

TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt kiwi-nomad.

Stopped off for a few essentials like Jubes and iced coffee for the trip then strolled over to gz bathing in the wonderful view of the bay and distant mountains. We were drawn to the cache straight off, again reflecting on the clever designs. TFTC

We decided to park at the supermarket and grab some morning tea before nicking over to grab the cache. I don't know why, but on arriving at GZ, I stood for a moment, looked at something, had a quick ponder and tried it - to be greeted with a logbook! Plenty of sumping action going on, but I cleared my nostrils on the walk back to the car while enjoying the view of the mountains across the bay. TFTC, kiwi-nomad. =^.^=

The last member of team SafAri to find this one! But what a cache! Tftc Blenheim Bear

First time I came here about 2 months ago and spent ages looking everywhere with no luck. Today there may as well have been a huge sign saying "Geocache hidden here". As I approached it just seemed like the obvious place for a hide. Since the first attempt I've found a couple of kiwi-nomad hides, maybe I'm starting to think the same way. TFTC. Definitely a favourite

A rather unusual hide, but we caught on quite quickly.
+ a marble, - nothing.

KIwi Nomad again. What clever caches. We were not disappointed. Thank you.

Another very clever K-N cache hide. I must be tuning in to them because I was straight on to this one. TFTC

Settled weather meant Hazedarus and I went eastwards to do the caches we planned to do a couple of nights ago when the rain drove us homeward again. Ground was really soggy round GZ but our feet were already wet anyway. We knew we had to be alert for something different for this cache so took extra care with our search. Cache was soon found though. Another clever cache! Thank you.

Yet another night cache run with Holymu. The night was starry bright but no moon so it was caching on instruments only. The find was not to difficult although still very wet at GZ. We were looking for the unexpected and no joy until a methodical search showed something unusual. Another great hide and a fav point. TFTC

Nice easy find

Quick find cool cache. Tftc

Justanurse is a legendary finder of caches. Very quick at this one.

Oh yes, the smell !

Left lithuanian geocoin and CITO kit no trackable found though

Finally!!! . Have been stumped by sumped on a number of occasions. We've been here before but left when the smell got too much for us, or, we felt we were being too obvious. Today it was a smart find and away. Took the TB - LN. TFTC.

Very familiar hide and a quick find. Did manage to poke a stick in my head and draw blood, but that's not a requirement. Tftc

Came back and dropped travel bug

Great hide. Coin gone. Needs a new ziploc

OUT: TB Pirate "TP43FV"

Wonderful!

Quick Find ... Eyes wondered in the right direction ... TFTC !

kiwi-nomad; your caches are a delight. We made a quick find but only because we've come to love your work. A glorious morning and the log book was fine - looked like it had never been otherwise. Out tb in pirate. to GITO TFTC

Found in dark. Very smart cache.

Looks like the log is all dry, will re check next time I'm passing

A cool hide. TFTC - - BTW: Logbook has dried out and is now fine.

I think I misread the title of the cache and that put me off the chase for a bit. Once I re-read the title I twigged and had a quick find. Log is quite damp. Cheers Gav [10427]

Very clever! Enjoyed finding this one with smsRenwick. TFTC

Logbook saturated as bag split ++. Needs replacing. Container great though

We thought this was going to be a 3rd DNF in a row but oldest son found it! Very clever! A good size to drop off Juenta the foal trackable but in its own sealable bag. Log book water damaged - bag split - needs maintenance. Found with Tom&Barbara. TFTC

Quick find which is not normally said for a KiwiNomad cache!

Well done.

A quick walk to gz. A neat hide.TFTC

Big Fuzzy had it in hand before I'd even got out of the car! Nice hide. TFTC

It was extra smelly here this morning and I mean extra smelly so after about 15 seconds we were off.

Took a while to find it but got there in the end , Thanx4TC clever hide,,,

There has been some ground works at this site recently and we were starting to think the cache may have disappeared when low and behold there it was. Nice hide.

Nice quick easy find. TFTC

Love these types of caches.

A great day of caching ahead with Mr L, Mrs L(Me),Miss L(down from Wellington) & Junior L.Started our day with this one at 5.21am,being early in the morning took our brains a bit longer to find it.At least there werent to many people around at that time but think it would have looked a bit dodgy people walking around with headlights.Thanks for the cache

Great family cache to bike to.
