Challenge Central Avis 

I joined a group adventure to attempt the National 3 Peaks Challenge over the 2025 Summer Solstice (20-21 June) on a trip that was run by Challenge Central... and it was one of the best things I've ever done.
Our CC team, almost entirely composed of men called Steve, were great from start to finish. And when I say start, I mean start - weeks before the event we were all added to a WhatsApp and given helpful pointers on what to expect and buy, and how to prepare ourselves physically: no question was too small or obvious during this period. Once we got to the weekend itself and rendezvous'd at Glasgow Airport, the service really kicked up a gear - even if our trusty van and ace driver were stuck in neutral for rather more of the mileage we covered than any of us would ideally have liked! Everything was anticipated and taken care of: water (it was boiling for much of the 24-hour period), copious snacks, the most glorious array of supermarket sandwiches (exactly what you want when you get down off Ben Nevis ravenous past 10pm at night)... Really importantly, they selected absolutely top-notch guides for us on all 3 mountains: funny, knowledgeable, conscientious (the guy who picked up every single piece of litter he saw...), motivating and flexible. By the latter I mean simultaneously super patient and kind with individual team members who were struggling at times while also recognising that as a group formed from a fitness/training collective (True Collective) many of us were fit and super-competitive and quite up for racing up and down these peaks at a perky pace. They took photos for us and didn't bat an eyelid of frustration when a tendency towards faffing before each hike commenced became apparent. It's hard to over-state how important this was to the overall experience. Players of the match beyond the 6 guides were Driver Steve, who navigated delay after blockage to get us where we needed as quickly and safely as possible, and Steve H, who was with us every step of the way (and sometimes seemed to be in about five places at once). It was lovely when they joined us for our slap-up celebration dinner at our Snowdonia hotel once it was all done and dusted.
In summary, I would 3000% recommend this company for your next outdoor team extravaganza.

The team was great during a company ride from London to Amsterdam. They made sure to separate enough that each cyclist in our group of ~30 knew the correct turn to make, provided encouragement and enthusiasm along the way, and made sure that no one was left behind. This all allowed for a great bonding experience for all of us without having to worry about the little details. Would highly recommend to anyone considering. Thanks for a great experience!

The Letchworth-Amsterdam cycle ride was a great experience and the Challenge Central team were a well-oiled machine ensuring the ride ran smoothly. But with enough flexibility to cater to individuals in the ride and very personable people as our cycle guides and support team, who did everything they could to make it a trip to remember. Fantastic!

fantastic group of people, made the day very enjoyable, Konica Minolta 20Km landmark Walk. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience walking 20km through London via all the Landmarks - great team and organisation as always!! Thank you!

Fantastic corporate event cycling from London to Amsterdam with Challenge Central. The Challenge Central team are super friendly, encouraging and kept us well watered and fed with rest breaks and fantastic lunches. Mark taught the group was great cycling skills which everyone loved too!

Would really recommend businesses using Challenge Central to help run work cycling events. It was a chance to bond with new colleagues and experience something new together.

Joinied Challenge Central on a charity ride from London to Amsterdam. What a great company to work with. very well organised from start to finish

The team are amazing, positive, encouraging with great energy. I rode London to Amsterdam, I really enjoyed the route, the guide, the food, the whole experience, these people know what they are doing and managing a trip. Huge thanks Jen

I could not recommend this company enough! So organised, positive and supportive of everyone in our group! They made this experience one for the memory books (and stopped us all getting hangry!)

Incredibly supportive, responsive and motivating team from everyone at Challenge Central. From booking to event they were on hand with all questions and queries. Myself and the team had the best time completing the National 3 Peaks and would highly recommend Steve (all 3 of them) to anyone!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Experience – Thank You, The Challenge Central!

Our team at The Access Group had the most incredible time cycling from London to Amsterdam – and it’s all thanks to the phenomenal organisation and energy from The Challenge Central! 🎉

From start to finish, everything was flawless – the route, the logistics, the support crew, the camaraderie – every detail was thoughtfully planned and delivered with passion. The vibes were sky-high the whole way, bringing our team together in the best possible way.

This wasn’t just a cycling challenge but an inspiring journey filled with purpose, laughs, and unforgettable memories. The motivation and support from The Challenge Central made us push further, ride harder, and have way more fun than we ever imagined.

Thank you for such a memorable and meaningful experience. We couldn’t recommend The Challenge Central more highly – we’re already talking about what we’ll do next!

I had the best time doing the 3 Peaks ⛰️⛰️⛰️ Steve was amazing he organised everything for me, I had three fabulous guides who kept me from getting lost, entertained me and taught me lots about each mountain. Steve drove me to each mountain made sure I had enough water and that I’d eaten! He kept my family updated and showed them which path to take to meet me at the end. We all really enjoyed your company Steve thank you very much you really are a star 🌟

Fantastic family run business, really enjoyed our 20k charity walk, the event was well organised, really nice people, would thoroughly recommend!

I did the 32-mile Ultra marathon on 10th May organized by Challenge central. This was my first ultra marathon and I had an amazing experience. It was so well organized. There were a good number of stops for water and food. I wasn't sure I could finish but with the company of wonderful people and Steve's encouragement I could finish it. It didn't feel really long either. Hoping to join more such challenges! Thanks Steve, Mark and Brandon for such a great day!

The knowledgeable and sociable guides made the day enjoyable and challenging. They were there to support and encourage everybody throughout the day.
The weather was on our side and the bbq halfway was delicious and gave us the fuel to do the second half. Would definitely go with them again
Thanks guys

If I could give more stars I would! Great support from start to finish. I really did struggle with the steep areas. Steve supported me all the way. Great barbecue and a welcome ice cold drink both during and after the challenge. I wasn't sure what to expect to be honest and although I did find it hard, I would never give up. Credit to the guys at Challenge Central and my ALM team. I did it and a bit more! Thank you for a great day. I have some lovely memories and photos (oh and bragging rights) to my friends. 😊

What can I say. Fantastic day .... hard work but thoroughly worth it. Great team that provided the experience of Brecon 3 peaks. Great views Great laughs Great bbq and finished off with a celebratory drink medal . Group photos taken throughout challenge. THANKS guys
