National 3 Peaks Challenge

We can’t recommend Challenge Central highly enough. Challenge Central supported 2 colleagues and myself to complete the National 3 Peaks Challenge in July 2024. Pre event support from Steve was excellent in providing not only an event itinerary but numerous hints and tips to prepare us for the event. The main support through the event was provided by Alan (Events Director) and he left no stone unturned in ensuring all of the transitional elements between the mountains went as smoothly and comfortably as possible, including the provision of blankets and pillows, unlimited snacks and drinks, including porridge and hot tea as we came off Scafell early in the morning! Alan was very positive and knowledgeable throughout, providing us with encouragement at all stages, always very health and safety conscious, and resourceful in helping us overcome the inevitable adversities of the 3 Peaks, including injuries, adverse weather and road blockages. We had 3 different mountain leaders/ guides on the 3 mountains and all were excellent and had obviously been carefully selected. Again, health and safety was top of their priority list. They were all qualified, very experienced, very knowledgeable and informative and were brilliant at dealing with issues we faced, such as muscle strains and repairing shoes that were falling apart! They also made sure we took in the surroundings and appreciated the beauty of the 3 locations. In summary, we would not have been able to complete the challenge without the support provided by CC.

Just a bunch of superstars-Steve, Lorraine and Dave

Setting off on a significant charity cycle ride across the UK and then to Europe has lots of challenges but the team at Challenge Central - Steve the cheerleader, Dave(poppet) , and Lorraine were just brilliant and made it all seamless and stressless. They looked after everything and nothing was to much trouble. I was one of the back markers but Lorraine and David made sure that I was looked after and motivated me to get across the line. Thanks guys you were all superstars!!!!

London to Amsterdam Cycle Challenge

These people are fantastic. They really looked after our team, cycling from London to Amsterdam. Steve, and the two guide riders, Lorraine and Dave supported, encouraged and motivated us all the way with an entertaining and exceptional atmosphere. I cannot wait to repeat it next year, maybe even sooner...

We participated in the London-Amsterdam challenge with a group of colleagues from different countries. The challenge was well organized by Challenge Central and both the guides and the driver were really part of the team.

London to Amsterdam Cycling Challenge

Challenge Central supported our team for our London - Amsterdam bike ride in aid of Dementia. Their organisation, motivation and energy were second to none and they ensured the event was a massive success. Lorraine, Dave and Steve were also an absolute pleasure to spend time with. Huge thank you from myself and the team for your efforts and support 🙌. Cheers - Lee

What a great day we had on our Landmark Walk in London raising money for Konica Minolta supported Charities.
Steve and the Team at Challenge Central did a marvellous job with their enthusiasm as support along the way. Great spending time with colleagues and seeing landmarks I had never seen before despite the amount of time I have been to London.

We just got back from a London to Paris cycle for charity. The team at Challenge Central made it!

Everything was thought of and all we had to worry about was cycling. The whole crew; Alan, Steve, Lorraine, Mike and Mark were brilliant. They all play a different role and compliment each other so well.

We had a mixed group of abilities and they made everyone feel safe. And such good cheerleaders!

Can’t wait to book the next trip with them. Highly recommend.

London to Paris Cycle

What an experience!

Challenge Central organised and ran a charity cycle trip for our company (and friends!) from London to Paris.

I could not recommend the team enough! They were absolutely awesome and supported us along the way. The trip was seamless and this is a testament to their amazing team.

We had riders of all abilities and they are able to support everyone and ensure they are having the time of their lives!

The feeling of joy when we reached Paris was unforgettable and, again, this is due to them organising the trip as well as they did.

Bring on the next one!

Thanks so much for this. The CC Team loved this event and have all put their names down again if you FLM lot are up for another adventure! What a great few days we all had! And it looked like you all had a great night in Paris! If we do it again we'll try and stay with you after the event! See you again, Steve, Alan and all the Team.

FLM Goes to Paris

Challenge Central helped us run a charity cycle from London to Paris and they were absolutely awesome! They made everyone in the team feel supported, encouraged along the route, added some competition and also taught us about being more efficient.

They helped with pics and vids and fully immersed into our team and made the whole trip a huge success.

Trish you smashed it! You all did!
What a great weekend we had. You made our jobs easy by all being fit, having done the required training and bringing your A-Games! But most of all everyone's positive energy was rubbing off on one-another and the challenge was just getting better and better as it went on! Just a shame it had to finish! Alan and myself as well as the rest of the CC Team really hope we can sort something for next year and go on another adventure! Cheers, Steve (Disco Steve)

Stevenage to Hertford walk

So we started in rain and finished in sunshine! The walk was challenging but that’s why we do it, as we love a challenge.. lots of mud! Great scenery, company and as always the support that the Challenge Central team provide is so unique and personal to meet everyone’s individual needs. I’d definitely recommend this walk to anyone that loves the great outdoors ❤️
