Woodseats Explorers Win The Apex Challenge again!

Once again, the Woodseats team has triumphed in the Apex Overnight Challenge. The event, held this weekend at Sherwood Pines Forest Park, was in high demand and had to close entries early with over a hundred entries! Unfortunately only 69 teams managed to get involved, but of course the Woodseats teams were high up in the leaderboard as usual:

1st: If In Doubt, Follow the Sheep - 900 points

8th: Where's Wally? - 609 points

The winning team won by a clear 175 points! Also the first team in the Apex's history to win two events in succession!

If In Doubt, Follow The Sheep

Where's Wally?

Well done to Andrew Webster, Dom Sharpe, Torin Cowen & Aaron Adams for winning! Well done to all those who entered.
