Scrapheap Challenge was an engineering game show produced by RDF Media and broadcast on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. In the show, teams of contestants had 10 hours (around sunset) in which to build a working machine that could do a specific task, using materials available in a scrapheap. The format was exported to the United States, where it was known as Junkyard Wars. The US show was also produced by RDF Media, and was originally shown on The Learning Channel. Repeats have aired on another Discovery network, the Science Channel. A campaign has recently been launched on Facebook and Twitter to try and convince the producers to bring back the series.
Scrapheap Challenge used to be one of our favourite TV progammes. But why have we called this cache by the same name. If you walk from this cache to Walk the Plank cache GC5RF1M, take a look over the wall and you will see an amazing ? collection of old vehicles mainly Landrovers and we think you will realise how fitting the cache title is.
