Grand Old Duke of York Challenge

The Grand Challenge

If you like marching up to the top of the hill and down again this might be for you!!

Rob came to us recently asking for our help in raising funds for a charity close to his heart.

He was excited by the location of our new premises at Cragg Vale Business Park because of its proximity to our good neighbours Craggies Cafe and the wonderful hills and valleys on our doorstep.

He brought us the idea of a “grand old duke challenge” using us as a charity hub from which people can go and play out on the tops whilst helping others at the same time.

Rob set himself a triathlon challenge including biking the Cragg Vale climb,swimming Gaddings dam and running up and down Stoodley Pike.

We loved his idea and are more than happy to support his efforts.

We have specially commissioned 100 “grand old duke” water bottles and will give them out for free to anyone donating £5 to his charity. What’s more Craggies Cafe are on board too and will give you a free tea/coffee too to reward your generosity.

We hope that you will set yourself a challenge from our centre and go out and explore the foothpaths and bridleways that crisscross the South Pennines right on our doorstep. Our friendly staff have lots of challenging ideas to suit all abilities, ages and interests and will put you on the right track whether you want to walk, bike, run , wander or ramble.
