My Job: Outdoor Activity Instructor. Possibly the most varied job there is and certainly the best! As long as you’re willing to put in the enthusiasm and the hard work, it’s great fun and rewarding.
My Aspirations: To work hard – PLAY HARDER!!! I’d like to work up to a position where I can use my previous experience in team leading and organising, but still help people to learn and achieve things they never thought possible. Maybe one day get a boat and sail around the world.
Typical Day: NO SUCH THING! Although the routine stays the same, no two days or even sessions will be. You can go from running like a loon on Mini Olympics to sitting high in a tree to venturing underground in the Maze.
Best Memories: Every single one. There’s the personal achievement like conquering my fear of heights to the silly little things we get up to behind the scenes that can keep us laughing for hours or days.
Why work for Manor Adventure: The Laughs. The Friends. The Adventure. The Memories.
