Great experience during the Three Peaks

Mike and Ryan were incredibly accommodating looking after the injured participants and created an incredibly fun atmosphere. The guides were unbelievably professional, providing great advice while hiking and continuing to add to the fun atmosphere.

The team leaders and guides

The team leaders, Ryan and Mike made the whole experience very enjoyable. With little prior experience of mountain climbing I was able to reach the summit of both Ben Nevis and Scaffel Pike. Although I was unable to attempt Snowdon, the team made me feel just as proud to have pushed myself to get as far as I did. The whole experience felt very personal and encouraged every person to reach their own personal goal, whatever that may be. The guides for each mountain were extremely encouraging and friendly.

Three Peaks challenge

Just completed the three peaks challenge with the incredible help and support from team leaders Mike and Ryan. Choose a Challenge were so helpful during the months leading up to the challenge and their continued support has been amazing. The team could not have been more helpful and supportive during the peaks and I couldn’t recommend them more!

First-Class Experience with Choose A…

First-Class Experience with Choose A Challenge

Choose a Challenge has been nothing short of first-class from my initial booking for the Three Peaks Challenge for Dementia UK to the actual climb. They maintained excellent communication leading up to the event, ensuring we were as prepared as possible. The online briefing, expertly conducted by Katja, was particularly helpful.
As a solo traveller, I felt very welcomed and included in the group, thanks to Jules, our host. He was always motivating, encouraging, and ready to answer our questions.
Although the weather prevented us from summiting Ben Nevis, Jules kept our spirits high for the remaining Scalfel Pike and Snowdon climbs and greeted and congratulated each of us at the end of every descent.
I highly recommend Choose A Challenge for an unforgettable adventure!

Experience of a lifetime*****

Experience of a lifetime! CAC were a big part in helping Powersystens achieve this great feat. Jules for CAC was a fantastic host with a cracking personality, which helped the challenge go well despite the horriffic weather. Dementia UK is such a great cause and we couldnt of achived what we did without Jules and the CAC team, I would100% recommend getting in touh with CAC if you are thinking of taking on a challenge for charity.

Dementia UK - Three Peaks Challenge

Absolutely fantastic experience! I was very happy to take part in such an event for an incredible charity. I want to give a big thank you to Dementia UK, Choose A Challenge, our Hike Leaders, our drivers, and especially to Jules for organising this event. Jules was very friendly and welcoming to everyone, and without him the event definitely wouldn't have been the same.

Overall, everything was very well planned and executed. The only thing that held us back was the extremely abnormal weather conditions on Ben Nevis's summit which no-one could have predicted in advance. Despite this situation, Jules made the best out of our bad luck with Ben Nevis and kept us focused to complete the rest of the challenge (which we did!)

I highly recommend!

3 Peaks Challenge with CAC

Great challenge made even better with CAC's Jules pulling the strings and making the Team hit the right note. Especially important as the weather had other ideas and put us to the test making us earn every peak. Brilliant guides made every step safe and enjoyable.

Dementia UK such a worthy cause so hope the fund raising helps make a difference

The team a choose a challenge were fantastic from start to finish. We had great communication and tips from booking and leading up to the challenge. When we arrived our host, Jules, was fantastic, motivating and informative. The mountain guides were great, as was the transport.

Brilliant experience

Brilliant experience, as a lone traveler i quickly became part of the larger team supported by Choose a Challenge. Jules, our go to person for everything, was incredibly knowledgable and kept the challenge flowing perfectly!
The 3 Peaks are a truly tough challenge, and that’s what I wanted! I met amazing people, became a fellow Lone Ranger with my travel companions and best of all, we all stuck two fingers up to dementia!! Well done everyone, you all smashed it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So well organised and with friendly staff all along the way, from Jules, our Choose A Challenge coordinator, to the local guides and bus drivers. The only thing we had to focus on was putting one foot in front of another! And even then we were surrounded by encouraging, smiley faces to do so. Really enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend!

Excellent experience

Choose a Challenge delivered an excellent 3-peaks experience, especially Jules, who went above and beyond nothing was too much hassle. Always with a smile, friendly and organised. The pre-arrange briefing and communication from the COC team was top notch and Katja was patiently answering all our questions even though it had been covered in the pre-information already. They come highly recommended. Thank you team COC!
