Our April 2009 Overnight Challenge had 16 main activity bases. They were hidden throughout Sherwood Pines and some were challenging to find with darkness making the navigation even more difficult. As well as some familiar favourites from previous events there were several surprises as well.
The tables below tell you how many teams made it to each of the main activity bases as well as the other controls.
