Bald Spot (Nelson/Marlborough) Nelson South, South Island, New Zealand
By SoBad on 05-Jun-05. Waypoint GCP6BB

I have decided to archive this cache so another in the area can be set.

Bugger, don't like it when I was the last to find it. Had a check this morning, and it is indeed missing from where I returned it to.

I will go and check out, and if necessary reset this cache.

Another DNF to add to the list - there is every chance that the cache is no longer there; or are we all wrong?

We're not alone! Must have been muggled.
Conton

I had no luck either, although this does seem a tricky one.
Cheers, M@

Had a quick hunt around couldnt find it kept being disturbed by muggles. Will try again.

Searched all over, checked clue and re-tried but couldn't find it anywhere.

Hopefully it was just us!

Cheers
pinetree and sunrise

Staying with my sister about 100m away, so not to hard to get too. First try had muggles playing, but got it this morning with no problems. TNLN Thanks.

Heaps of muggles in the park as well as around the houses nearby but we found it without being seen!
Took fridge magnet and left magnet.

Easy find on a quiet muggle free morning

Thanks,
S.T.

Found on 2nd attempt (first time we were thwarted by muggles sitting close by!). TFTC

Nice quick find and well hidden.Took TB to help it on its way.TFTC.

Nicely hidden Moredore&andre. Lid has a broken clip requiring replacement. Almost the last cache to be found on our holiday. Left TB and dog took waterball

Left TB

This cache was completely bald of any cover. Was it supposed to be? I mean I couldn't see anything but a tupperware container looking in that direction. Easiest find ever. Why wasn't it muggled? Rehidden in a much much safer spot within a few centimetres.

Did this cache after town acre.Thought some muggles were sitting on the bench that we wanted but after checking the gps again found the cache easily.Another nice park.

Must be blind!
Could not find it.
Looked long and hard.
Will try again.

Easy find. As we sat on the park bench, we looked up to our friend's house. Lovely wee park.

+ Rizer pen

first of a 2 cache day after trying to find the dragon's tail/city view cache and realizing I made a mistake while entering the coordinates into the gps...randomly, we ended up only 500 feet of this cache.

Cache very wet when we found it - hardly surprising after heavy rain. Emptied box of water and sealed bags firmly.

16:25 .. Great spot we had never visited before. Giggled at pun in cache name! Nice easy find for our 9th cache.

Found this one with the Red & white Gypsies

Went with our grand children, Junior Knight and his sister. Just a few hundred metres from there home. Had visited this spot with them before we became geocachers.
+ K'nex and light
- Screwdriver and pinball game

When their early in the day but their was a guy sitting on one of the park benches, I keep comming back after doing other ones in the area but he was their most of the day, can't blame him its a nice spot. The Cache was lying out in the open so re hide it where it should be, alls weel in the cache

Nice cache found in the rain.

Many Thanks Bitsprayer

thx for the fing nothing to exchange

Haha, had to laught out loud when I realized the pun... Found that the Additional Hint was more confusing than helping, did the cache move a bit? +rope, -tattoo

Found this just before it started raining

Fast find, once I stopped looking too deep for it. Found without GPS again.
In - Pinball game, Out - nil

This is indeed quite a small park with two benches only. And surprising enough for a Sunday afternoon: No muggles around. We could find and log easily.

Fastest find of the day. The kids had it before I had even gotten out of the car! TNLNSL. Thanks

Very punny clue, puns really are under-rated as a form of humour. Nice and easy find, although was a popular spot with muggles today. Very nice spot, have lived in Nelson 18 years and never been there before so was nice to find somewhere new.

+ bubble gum wrapper with tattoo instructions

Forgot to bring hint with me. GPS reception was erratic - I'd move a metre and the distance to target would change by a factor of ten. Now that I've read the hint online I think I know where to look next time.

Good find,spotted a muggle sport player in the area so entered
through another way.
+ wooden animal
- blue beetle

Nice easy one although because we are new to Geocaching it still tooks us 15 minutes. Nice park and might come back for a BBQ one day - even though we live just up the road ! Tip - Don't write puns for living or you will be poor for the rest of your life ! [:-)] Thanks.

I too, found the cache fairly easily. Alas, I don't quite yet need these services and will probably just end up cutting my hair shorter and shorter instead No exchange made. Cheers Gav [756]

Found this one relatively easily. Nice park and a few muggles around but a good cache to introduce family to geocaching.

Nice park.
Took Kiwi Barber
Left Blue Beetle

Placed a Sumo Cyclist logo sticker on the inside of the cache lid.

We finally got around to getting here, nil exchanged.

Mr Surf'n knew of this park but it was the first time I had seen it. Nice spot.

found it after a bit of hunting the gps is a little off i think neat spot for the oldies not my cup of tea though

took crayons
gave rino

Ouch! That's an awful pun...
I've got some mates who live only a few 100m from here, so have walked here with them before. In fact, it's probably the only park in Nelson that I am familiar with, other than through caching. A bit of stealth needed, as the neighbours were rattling around across the road. TNLN, TFTC.

Found while we were chasing after the pig skin. A pleasent Sunday afternoon find

nice easy find.Mrs moto used to play here when she was a kid
TNLN

Easy find in daylight.
TNLNSL.

Looked for this one for about 30 mins by torch light at 10:00pm, dodging Muggles driving past in their cars.
Will come back in day light.

Once we had negotiated multiple streets in the dark to get there, it was a quick and early find.
Thanks
Iris & Rodney

Well, zat's ze closest I've even been able to park to a cache - less than 5 metres!! Very nice though, as it's my 14th cache today, and I'm getting a wee bit tired. It was an easy find, so I didn't have to tear my hair out hunting!! No swaps, cheers, Grandalf.

Ooh what a pun! We're wondering if SoBad knows BaldEd in Canterbury? Visiting town overnight on holiday from Virginia. Took nothing; left U.S. 5 cent commemorative coin.

Very clever use of the name.
And another ciry park I didnt know existed.

+Plus haircutter Kiwi, although he might not get much work around here!

Loved the clue once we worked it all out.Another fantastic wee spot I have found thanks to geocaching.
Have taken the GEO-COIN and will send it on its way soon. Thanks.

found this one pretty easily though we had to use the clue because the gps pointed us in the wrong direction! completed this with my Dad and Gran, to teach them how its done took nothing, left canadian geocoin

This is a place often visited in my youth. Should have guessed this was the bald spot the name refered to. Nice one. TNLN

I used to "Grass Ski" in this place with a couple of old flatmates some 20 odd years ago. It brought back a lot of funny (and painful... not as soft as snow!) memories.
Thanks

A gentle jog away from home - nice way to start a very sunny day, easy find. TNLN

Short run with Mike, trying out his heart rate monitor. TNLN, Jane

Nice One!!!!! Huge Surprise. Late morning and still FTF. All of the ze keen cachers must have zlept in. Ze information how maze lotz of zenze. Many thanks, because Mr. usakiwi is thin on the hair. + Star -Keychain

USA Kiwi was wrong - we sure weren't sleeping. We saw him driving along the road and when we got to the log book, realised we had missed him by five minutes!!! We were on our way to do some caching out Hira way and decided to look in on this new one.
Head geocacher had a distressing moment when he was grumped at by a small canine called Olive but was eventually mollified enough to keep enjoying the site.
