The September 2003 Apex Challenge event was held at Stanage Edge in the Peak District, just West of Sheffield. After two fantastic events in the space of just twelve months it was going to be tough to organise a better one, but everyone agreed on the day that it far exceeded their expectations.

As well as the regular teams that had taken part in the past, new teams turned up for their first taste of the Apex Challenge from all over the North of England. Surely none of them who arrived early that Saturday morning could have visualised walking over the top of a hill to find a small tent and inside a computerised disco dancing challenge for them to test out the skill and coordination.
