Ready to test your balance on the paddle-board?

New for 2021! Stand Up Paddle-boarding (or SUP to those in the know!) is simply Fun Fun Fun!

Originating from surfers in Hawaii, it has now reached Open Door Adventure and is delivered on our own River Elwy on site.

The boards are like large surf boards; you can like down and use your hands, kneel on them and paddle like a canoe or stand up and paddle like a professional! As you progress you’ll learn how to paddle in a straight line, how to spin around and how to balance on your board… maybe even doing handstands!

Our Instructors will guide you from the beginning and no previous experience is needed.

Mark joined Open Door Adventure in 2019.

After leaving the Army in 2003 and working on some of the largest civilian projects in the UK, Mark quickly realised there was more to life and embarked on a National Diploma in Sport & Outdoor Education.

After completing his education he moved to Yorkshire and quickly progressed to managing his own groups around the North of England. He is an experienced Mountaineer and in 2011 completed a life goal by summiting Mont Blanc.

Mark has paddled and climbed all over the UK and looks forward to hopefully back to Europe. He strongly believes in personal development and experiential learning. His motto in life is “If you can’t do it, keep trying”.

Did you know May is #NationalWalkingMonth. Have you celebrated by going for a walk this May? If not, it's not too late to do so.

What are the benefits of walking?

- stronger bones and improved balance.
- reduced risk of heart disease and stroke.
- helps with mental health
- great activity to do with friends/family or work colleagues.

Let us know if you will be walking and where this May...

At Open Door Adventure, our Team Building Programmes are based on the John Adair “Action-Centred Leadership” model.

Our programmes are about maximising individuals so that they can become the best they personally can be – and this in turn is represented by Adair’s ‘three circles’ diagram, which illustrates Adair’s three core management responsibilities:

- Achieving the task
- Managing the team or group
- Managing individuals

From Andrew L, Cambridgeshire, Easter 2022.

Thank you so much Dave, Deborah and team for enabling us to spend a superb extended family weekend reunion exclusively at Dolben Hall. It was ideally situated for us, family members coming from Scotland, Ireland, Wirral, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire.

Our group of eleven adults and eleven children found the accommodation and facilities ideal. The younger children loved being together in the larger bedroom!

The isolation in the beautiful valley, the river, the walks, the night-time fire pit and the grandeur of Dolben Hall itself was splendid. Our family’s amateur chefs loved the professional kitchen and the large dining hall.

The family left buzzing with the thought of our next reunion in two or three years’ time.

We pre-booked activities elsewhere, but next time we would book some of the amazing activities offered by Open Door Adventure.

Thanks again

Andrew

Sturdy joined Open Door Adventure in August 2021 having seen a recruitment advert on Facebook.

Although new to the Outdoor Pursuits industry Sturdy has always been an “action man” and practising Kayaking, Sea Kayaking and Cycling.

He spent a year travelling and for part of that time he cycled independently around the greater part of Europe. In addition to these activities, in his spare time he enjoys Orienteering, Wild Camping, Bushcraft and Climbing.

His passion for travelling led to him acquiring an Adventure Campervan .. this now fills a good part of our car park when Sturdy is in work 😊!

Sturdy is delighted to be working in an environment that offers activities close to his heart but he’s also keen to help people grow and develop new and existing skills .. sometimes, skills they don’t even know they have.

Talking of skill building, already Sturdy has undertaken external training in the delivery of archery and in February and then a week’s Instructor training on Paddle Sports (not to mention the day to day internal training he’s been getting since day 1). Welcome aboard Sturdy and we wish you well!

Friday 1st April saw the first of two consecutive Hen weekends at Dolben Hall and this one was for bride-to-be Sophie who is marrying Paul in July. 💍 💒

As Sophie has been living in Dubai for the last 7 years, sister Vicki Bradford arranged and booked everything for the special weekend which included a Festival Food Van on the Friday evening, a Dance Class in the local Village Hall on the Saturday followed by a delivery of luxury afternoon tea and bottomless brunch!

On the Saturday evening Dolben Hall was bouncing as the group had a live acoustic band and disco accompanied by a Pizza Delivery service. 🍕🎶

35 family and friends joined the celebration with the age range being 18-75! Whilst a lot of the visitors live in North Wales, several had to travel from Manchester, the Lake District and London.

Vicki sent an email to us Monday morning:

“We had the best weekend at #Dolben. Everyone commented on the accommodation and the incredible setting. We were so lucky with the weather too!! “ ☀️

We’re delighted to say Vicki has now already booked a large family get-together at Dolben Hall for 2023!
