Challenge Central Avis 

A well organised trek by a friendly and professional team, who looked after us incredibly well on the day. Great use of a local, friendly guide who knew his stuff and entertained us with some interesting facts along the way. The team certainly made a challenging walk very enjoyable and I would certainly recommend to anyone planning their own challenge

I had a fantastic day with colleagues walking 25 miles of the Edale Skyline in the Peak District. We were looked after from start to finish very well. Not only were regular breaks planned but we were even topped up with snacks and hot drinks - even a bbq for lunch, which was very welcome! I recommend Challenge Central 100%!

A very professional and friendly service, which led to a very enjoyable trek. Would highly recommend this company if you are looking for a great adventure, and challenge

The guys who took us for our 3 peak challenge were brilliant. Kept spirits up, pushed others to beyond d what they thought was capable, and the Pitstone full of sweets and treats was so badly needed.

But overall they were just fun to have, and plenty of experience.

Good weekend walking with great guide, had a really good time.Thanks!

I've done a few walking challenges with CC which have been excellent. So I tried a 3 peaks in the lake district (part of the 3 peaks series) it was amazing, tough and very challenging. This was my first mountain hike, but definitely a great experience. Highly recommend this and any of the CC experiences. The team put so much effort into creating and organising these events. If your looking for a challenge and meeting new people this is the place to start.

I was part of a group taking part in the Yorkshire three peaks challenge. The support team from CC were brilliant from start to finish, with drinks and snacks before we started and also at the checkpoints during the day, expert advice and support both in the run-up and during the day, taking the stress out of the day, and then celebratory drinks at the end of the day. Couldn't speak more highly of them, thank you.

I recently took part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge through a charity event organised at my place of work. The support from Challenge Central was absolutely fantastic. I can honestly say that they made the day unforgettable. To turn up and have all the food, snacks and drinks we could need and space in the van for our belongings just meant I could relax and enjoy the day. We had two guides on the walk and they were brilliant, friendly, supportive and extremely knowledgeable. I felt safe and happy the whole time. Between each peak the support vehicle was there waiting for us with drinks and food and at the end had a selection of chilled alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks for us, plus a medal! I can’t fault them at all, an all round brilliant day and I had a smile on my face the whole time.

Loved doing the 3 Peaks - well organised and thoroughly enjoyable thank you :0)

Great support and help from the team. A thoroughly enjoyable day doing the Yorkshire 3 peaks. The guides were fab and a well stocked and manned ban at each check point.

Thank you to challenge central for a week I’ll remember forever & for so many different reasons

After over 2 years of waiting, changes in route, dates etc . I couldn’t have asked for more

The logistical challenges of setting up a new event for 14 relatively inexperienced cyclists must have been massive but everything went so smoothly - Alan & the CC team made sure all we had to think about was the cycling - everything else was taken care of.

Thank you

I've just finished a fantastic week of cycling around the north coast of Scotland supported by the Challenge Central Team. I'm an experienced cyclist and have cycled the Alps, Pyrenees, Dolomites etc so I know what a cycling challenge is, and should be. This was one of the very best!
Every detail of our trip was planned for us, and executed perfectly along the way. Bikes, hotels, rooms, meals, stops, routes, bags were all sorted in meticulous detail. The support staff were excellent too. We had a bike mechanic, a doctor, a paramedic and ride leaders with us every day in the group to guide and encourage the riders. Many of our group were novice cyclists and the Challenge Central guys helped, encouraged and taught them along the way.
More than all of the organisation, the professionalism and the logistics of our challenge, my enduring memory of the experience that Challenge Central produced for us was epic fun!
I had a very real sense that their ultimate goal was to make our experience genuinely enjoyable. Regardless of your skill or ability the team made sure that everyone on the trip were catered to and cared for along the way. If another opportunity presents itself I would not hesitate to go with Challenge Central again. Yes, they know their stuff but more than that. they are just such genuinely fantastic people.

Has to be a 5 star review for Alan and the whole Challenge Central team on our NC500 cycle challenge. So many changes to the original plan which began in 2020! Support on route was superb and our luggage and bikes just seemed to appear and disappear each morning and evening perfectly on cue.
The food stops were perfect and accommodation just what was required
Thank you for taking care of us and allowing us to undertake the Challenge with confidence.

What an amazing experience. Just completed 5 days of cycling around the north coast of Scotland.
The trip went very smoothly from start to finish. This was down to the hard work and effort Challenge Central had clearly put in to make sure the trip was a success. They created a great sense of team spirit and support.

The organisation was fantastic. I didn’t have to worry about anything - the bikes were swept up and secured safely at the end of each day and ready to ride again the following morning. Bags dropped off at each place and then picked up and back on the van - all meals and accommodation sorted.

Fantastic support from all the Challenge Central guys and a fantastic personable bunch too who took the time to really get to know us. Would definitely recommend - couldn’t have asked for more.

I spent a fabulous week undertaking an amazing challenge with the real life A Team. Alan, aka Hannibal, love’s it when a plan comes together, Trev “BA Barracus” is driving the van but ain’t getting on no plane, Ant is the Face and riding shotgun is “Howling mad” (Mark) murdoch. They even have a black van with a red stripe!!

So if you have an adventure in mind, and want someone to help, maybe you too can hire the challenge central team.

I’m certain there are several companies that claim to offer “fully supported” trips and adventures, but these guys truly deliver!
Our location got changed = no problem!
Our date got changed = no problem!
Weather was not playing ball = no problem!
We were in truly remote locations but still no problem.
If you want memories that will last a lifetime, and friendships that last just as long then it’s an easy choice.
You will NOT regret it, and I’m sure you will want to do it again!
Simply the best!

I've just had one of the best (and hardest) weeks of my life thanks to Challenge Central! Alan and the team were amazing all week long and put in an unbelievable amount of hard work prior to our cycle around the North Coast of Scotland, to make it as seamless as possible, despite the challenging weather, terrain and endless changes that were needed because of the pandemic. They were friendly, professional and so supportive throughout. It made the tough physical challenge all the more memorable and enjoyable! I'd highly recommend one of their trips...and may even book myself onto their Slovenia Cycle in the future!

Absolutely brilliant bunch of people. One of the hardest yet most rewarding trips I have been on and there was nothing but positivity. Couldn’t have asked for more!

Thankyou all again, I’ll definitely be seeing you in the future!!

5 stars for Alan and the team at challenge central. Each and every one of challenge central put their all into making the trip a seamless and memorable one, and it didn’t go unnoticed. Thanks to the hard work of CC, all I had to focus on was cycling and having fun. Their wit, expertise and leadership carried us through the trip, making it an unforgettable one. If you’ve never pushed yourself before, Youl be in safe hands with challenge central. Coming from an absolute novice!!! Thanks all

Just travelling home from the Scottish NC500 Cycle ride and reflecting on what an amazing experience it was. Challenge Central were superb from start to finish, their genuine passion for the event and willingness to change and adapt as the week went on made the whole trip one that I will never forget.
Alan and his team should be immensely proud of getting 14 people around the route in really challenging weather. Even when it was blowing a gale and raining the team had a smile of their faces, offering advise, support and most importantly great food and cafe stops!
I’m already thinking about which of their challenges to do next. If you haven’t done a challenge before then pick this company to do your first. If you have done one then you should sign up for one tomorrow, you will not regret it!!!
