Rated 5 out of 5 stars

fantastic walk yesterday, hats of the the CC team for putting this on and making it enjoyable and fun

A fabulous social walk yesterday 16th, 20k round Hertfordshire - can't fault anything.
Bacon butties at the start, well guided - catering for different walkers' needs, keeping us on track and safe, plenty of snacks and refreshments along the way. Mulled wine and mince pies at the end most welcome.
As well as a pleasant walk around some unfamiliar territory (for me), there was a friendly welcome from everyone - walkers as well as the CC team.
Very highly recommended for a professionally organised and run event.

Heather is was so good to see you & lovey Maisy. You totally bought into the spirit of the walk and what it's all about! Bit of food, chatting away and simply relaxing into our amazing countrysides whilst learning a few new routes. And you smashed it!! Was great to see you and hopefully you both will be coming along to a few more in 2024. Happy Holidays.

Look no further, these are the guys to make your trips unforgettable …

The entire team at challenge central were phenomenal!

I decided, very last minute, that I wanted to ride a bike to Paris to raise money for brain cancer research!

In less than a week, they’d put the entire trip together. But they do much more than the logistics! They helped me up hills that I was battling with and really made the experience an unbelievable one!

They also helped with the social media and making the memories last longer!

3 Peaks Challenge

A truly fantastic weekend organised by Challenge Central.

From start to finish Steve and Alan were attentive to our requests and questions, they provided a bespoke itinerary to meet our needs and ensured that everything fell into place from the first pick up, up and down three mountains and throughout the driving stages.

Steve and Alan have exceptional knowledge and all the experience needed to know exactly what is required at every stage of the challenge. They quickly become part of the team and their desire and drive ensured a successful result.

The other Steve, our driver, was also quite amazing. His awareness of what was required to complete the challenge, within the time limit, made all the difference.

A HUGE Thank You to both Steve's and Alan.

I would highly recommend Challenge Central

The Happy Horseshoe

My 1st ever walk with challenge Central and most definitely not my last. A very well organised event and everyone who took part were so friendly. Was lovely to chat with different people along the way and after in the pub. Roll on 2023 and to my next walk.

Another great walk from Challenge Central, from coffee and bacon sarnies to start to a great cross-country route, to the energy and enthusiasm of the guides. Would recommend this to people of all ages. Look forward to the next one.

What a terrifically organised, fun walk

What a terrifically organised fun walk. The organisers are so lovely and made me feel really welcome as a first timer. The walk was broken into manageable sections with tea and snack stops ( all provided by challenge central). I cannot wait to do another one. Thanks guys. Loved it 😍

That's so kind of you to say Sam! We do try and make it as fun as possible, but when the group are so positive and easy to deal with, it makes our job pretty easy!!! This walk was so so much fun and about as social as it could have been! Looking forward to seeing you on the next one.

Challenge Central were invaluable to us…

Challenge Central were invaluable to us in enabling our charity ride from London to Amsterdam. Nothing was too much for them, they handled our challenge and our team of cyclists with varied abilities with care, consideration and professionalism. We now consider the CC team firm friends and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. 5 stars.
