Challenge Diary

The Challenge diary takes you inside Challenge Activ to keep up with the latest news from the team as well as to share with you the adventures we have had through the year.

Our aim is to allow those of you who have stayed with us to be able view recent photos; those who are coming to stay with us to see the sort of things that you might be getting up to and to check out weather/snow conditions etc; and those who are not coming to stay with Challenge Activ…have a look and see exactly what you are missing out on!!!
