A fantastic memorable trip to London to Paris

If you want to tick London to Paris off your bucket list as an individual or an organised corporate event, I can’t recommend Challenge Central enough you just couldn’t fault the trip. This has been a long waited challenge pre covid and they have gone over and beyond in organising and accommodating everybody. Big thank you to the team Selina, Alan, Mark, Mike and Lorraine. A memorable trip, meeting great people and new friends. I’m now looking for my next event and will definitely be booking through them again.

Hi Sam. Thank you so much for the review, we really appreciate it. It certainly was a long time in making due to Covid but we got there in the end. Thank you for all your efforts on your side as well and helping us eventually get the challenge over the line.

Was also fantastic to see your cycling and confidence improve over the weekend as well, let’s do it again in Croatia!

We’ve just completed London to Paris…

We’ve just completed London to Paris with Alan, Lorraine, Mike and Mark. From start to finish a friendly relaxed approach with professional skills interweaved to deal with any eventuality- and our group had a few! Plenty of stops built in for watering and feeding - the support van was never far away. I loved the way the whole experience gave us the “club riding” experience with a bunch of mates. (I’ve only experienced club organised and self organised cycle trips with friends - this was just as good!)
A good choice of hotels gave a good night’s sleep and breakfast/dinner.
If you’re reading this and thinking of joining Challenge Central go ahead; but my advice would be, if you’ve not given your bike a good going over for a while, to make sure that tyres, cables, chain and brake pads are up to the trip.
Other than that, grab your kit, and go for it!

London to Paris? Completed it!!

Possibly the most enjoyable, rewarding and inspiring experience of my life doing the London to Paris cycle ride with challenge central. A super professional and friendly bunch of guys and gals who go out of their way to make sure you get the experience you asked for. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Extremely knowledgable and will definitely be booking another challenge with them soon.

Slieve Donard by Night 🌙

Just completed a trek of Slieve Donard by night with Alan and Adam from Challenge. It was truly an amazing experience even through the rain and mist. They kept us going steadily to the top where the mist cleared and we got to see the most amazing sunset over County Down. You don't realise what natural beauty is all around you until you do something like this. This adventure with these guys is a must for any bucket list. Don't hesitate....just do it! Thank you Alan and Adam x

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

Peak District Edale Skyline Walk

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%!

Yorkshire 3 Peaks

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.

3 Peaks in the Lake District

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.

Yorkshire three peaks

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.
