The Castle 24 Challenge

Our good friend at Leeds Arena, Tony Watson and a couple of colleagues are embarking on a Charity challenge, we will be supporting them and hope you can too..

Tony takes up the story.."On Saturday, myself and two colleagues from the first direct arena in Leeds have been set a challenge to visit 24 castles in 24 hours, over 1000 miles, with the castles being chosen by our social media followers.  This is raising funds for the homeless charity Simon on the Streets, visiting the UK’s most spectacular homes to raise funds for those that don’t have a home at all. 


Its going to be tough as we need to maintain over 50mph for 24 hours including in central London and Cardiff.  

The challenge is to get a photo with the castles in the background"
