WHAT OUR CHALLENGERS SAY
Challenge Central has been successfully helping people overcome some of the toughest, most exciting challenges for many years. Here’s what they have to say about their National 3 Peaks Challenge experience with us:
Tim, July 2024
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Alan and Steve helped us navigate the many challenges the three peaks would throw at us. Always being on hand to share their experience, offer a word or two of encouragement and provide plenty of good food, drink, accommodation and travel before, during and after the travel. The mountain guides provided as part of the package were all fantastic and take any anxiety away if you’re unsure on navigating up the mountain. An experience I’ll always remember and I’ll be looking for future challenges with Challenge Central.
Martin Jones, July 2024
“We can’t recommend Challenge Central highly enough. Challenge Central supported 2 colleagues and myself to complete the National 3 Peaks Challenge in July 2024. Pre event support from Steve was excellent in providing not only an event itinerary but numerous hints and tips to prepare us for the event. The main support through the event was provided by Alan (Events Director) and he left no stone unturned in ensuring all of the transitional elements between the mountains went as smoothly and comfortably as possible, including the provision of blankets and pillows, unlimited snacks and drinks, including porridge and hot tea as we came off Scafell early in the morning! Alan was very positive and knowledgeable throughout, providing us with encouragement at all stages, always very health and safety conscious, and resourceful in helping us overcome the inevitable adversities of the 3 Peaks, including injuries, adverse weather and road blockages. We had 3 different mountain leaders/ guides on the 3 mountains and all were excellent and had obviously been carefully selected. Again, health and safety was top of their priority list. They were all qualified, very experienced, very knowledgeable and informative and were brilliant at dealing with issues we faced, such as muscle strains and repairing shoes that were falling apart! They also made sure we took in the surroundings and appreciated the beauty of the 3 locations. In summary, we would not have been able to complete the challenge without the support provided by CC.”
Nathan, July 2024
Nothing short of exceptional! We recently completed the National Three Peaks Challenge with Challenge Central, and it was an unforgettable experience, all thanks to their exceptional service. From start to finish, their team demonstrated an enthusiastic and professional approach that truly set them apart.From the initial planning stages, Challenge Central's attention to detail was evident. They provided comprehensive information and were always available to answer our questions, making sure we were well-prepared for the challenge ahead. Their enthusiasm was infectious, motivating us even before we set foot on the first peak.During the challenge itself, the support we received was outstanding. The team went above and beyond to look after us, ensuring we were comfortable and safe throughout the journey. They were always on hand with encouragement, advice, and support, making the whole experience much more enjoyable and less daunting.Their professionalism shone through in every aspect, from the well-organised transport and accommodation arrangements to the expert guidance provided by their knowledgeable leaders. The team's genuine passion for what they do was evident, and it significantly enhanced our overall experience.I would highly recommend Challenge Central to anyone considering a Three Peaks Challenge or any other adventure. Their dedication to their clients and their enthusiastic, professional approach make them the perfect choice for anyone looking to take on a new challenge. In my opinion, you couldn't find a better team to support you on your journey.
Aaron, July 2024
An experience I’ll never forget! I did the National Three Peaks Challenge in a team of 9 to fundraise for our local hospice. The whole experience from beginning to end was incredible and one I will never forget. When you take on a challenge of this nature, being with the right people makes all the difference. Not only were Alan and Steve clearly well experienced and well organised, they're also great fun to be around! All the other guides that came with us on the peaks were amazing as well - many enjoyable conversations and lots of laughter throughout. Thank you for an unforgettable experience and for helping me and the rest of the team to push ourselves to the limit!"
Ian Neville, July 2023
"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 became 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 and Alan. I would highly recommend Challenge Central."
Keith Howes, June 2023
"Great support from beginning to end. Challenge Central planned the National 3 Peaks including accommodation, provided mountain guides and set up the check-in stations with hot drinks and food, which was really appreciated by everyone. Most importantly the guys looked after every aspect of safety to ensure everyone enjoyed the event. Great team on the hills and in the bar afterward. Would recommend CC without hesitation."
Helen Childs, July 2022
"Just back from the biggest challenge of my life. The National Three Peaks! Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike & Snowdon. An amazing experience organised by Challenge Central. A huge thank you to Steve & Alan. Your support, guidance & encouragement was the best of the best!!"
Christine Ballinger July 2022
"Brilliant weekend doing the 3 Peak Challenge with Steve and Alan as our guides. Thanks to the great minibus drivers and the various mountain guides who also helped us on our journey. Would definitely do another Challenge Central event again!!"
Barry, September 2019
“Enjoyed everything to be honest, but the lasting memory will be the amazing views we were so lucky to witness. Also enjoyed the way the challenge inspired and challenged the whole group. The guides were amazing, very knowledgeable, experienced and generally just really nice guys!!”
Craig, September 2017
"Challenge Central were exceptional from start to finish and during. I would highly recommend using them for any event you anticipate doing based on my experience with them on the 3 peaks. Met some brilliant people and really enjoyed the challenge! The guides; a brilliant bunch of lads!"
Lyndsey, September 2017
"Myself and 8 other team members have just returned from completing the 3 peaks challenge. I can honestly say that I had the most amazing time! The challenge central staff were amazing, and most of all patient and motivated us every step of the way. We took on this challenge to raise money for our charity Entertainment Workshops, it's safe to say that Challenge Central will certainly be our first port of call for any future challenges we may wish to take on. Thanks for an awesome time guys!"
Matthew, July 2017
"I decided to do the national 3-peaks challenge as a way to challenge myself, and Challenge Central did not disappoint. The guides were supportive and welcoming from start to finish, and worked hard to make sure our experience went as well as smoothly as possible. The group I went with was great, everyone got along and supported each other. The experience itself was beyond words. The mountains were challenging but the views were rewarding. It was tough and the trek up Scafell Pike at 1am in the morning is one I will never forget. Then the feeling of accomplishment at the end is incredible. One amazing experience."
Mark, June 2017
"Central Challenge provided great preparation with their Kit List and emails leading up to the event. The mountain leader team managed a couple of challenges with clients that could have negatively impacted the group with patience and skill. The buses were comfortable and well-provisioned. I enjoyed the Challenge because I completed it with their invaluable support. Thank you."
Sunita, September 2016
"The Guides Phil and Tim were brilliant, giving us encouragement and support throughout the Challenge. I feel more confident about myself that I have done the Three Peaks Challenge. Thank you."
Nikki, August 2016
“I've had the most fantastic time on our 3 Peaks Challenge this weekend. Thank you so much Challenge Central for such a well-organised trip from start to finish. The travel company and mountain guides couldn't have been better and an amazing bunch of lady participants made for an unforgettable, laughter-filled adventure.”
