2003 Swartkop Challenge 2003
The event re-enacts the feat of arms of the British army in 1900 when 14 artillery pieces were secretly positioned on the summit of Swartkop for the battle of Vaalkranz which was the third unsuccessful attempt to relieve the 119 day siege of Ladysmith. The same site is used which was cleared by local rancher Mike Bentley and the gun-slide itself is approached up a new roadway that was cut up the steep hill in 2003 for the inaugural run.
