APEX LOCATION RELEASED
With just three weeks to go until the Apex Overnight Challenge, the organisers have now revealed exactly where it will be taking place. The massive competition will be held in the Wharncliffe woods area, North of Sheffield. The site is just a short drive from the M1 and offers mixed woodland, moorland, rivers, ponds, tracks and crags. It's an absolutely ideal spot for the Apex Overnight Challenge on 8th/9th May.


PRIZE LIST STILL GROWING
The value of prizes to be given away at the Apex Challenge events this year now stands at £1344. There are top quality tents, jackets, rucksacks, sleeping bags, days out and much more to be won. Prizes will be given to the top three teams in both the Explorer and Network events.


A DOZEN MAJOR ACTIVITIES
There are more activities at this year's event than ever before. Twelve bases have now been organised including rock climbing, canoeing, lawnmower racing, weaselling, massive river crossings and many more surprise attractions! Remember it's up to your team to visit as many of these activities as you can - while avoiding capture from the Apex chasers!


STILL TIME TO ENTER
It's not too late to register your teams. Full details and entry forms are now on the website at www.apexchallenge.co.uk. Make sure your members don't miss out on this great opportunity. We look forward to seeing you there.
