Shadow is the ultimate night time challenge
Shadow is an overnight navigation and orienteering event that takes place in the historic and iconic Sherwood Forest.
It provides young people the opportunity to work together as a team, using their collective skills and initiative to complete a series of tasks and challenges, through a route within the boundaries of Sherwood Forest, in the dark.
This year is the 50th anniversary of the event and we promise it will be the best one yet!
