Chiefs put through their paces at River Dart Country Park

Holne Park House and CRS Adventures, based on the River Dart Country Park in Devon, ran a two-day training programme for the Exeter Chiefs in preparation for the squad’s pre-season campaign.

The action-packed programme was centred around team-building and involved an array of timed challenges; from tractor pulling, dismantling and rebuilding a canon, to raft racing and a multi-terrain log carry.

Each challenge lasted approximately 45 minutes – and ensured that each team member was challenged both physically and mentally to prepare them for the gruelling season ahead.

In the evening the team enjoyed a BBQ and some much needed down-time, before the next day’s activities started where they tackled the high ropes and zip wires.

Roger Sell, General Manager at CRS Adventures, said: “It was a brilliant day and we are thrilled the team had so much fun. We put together a bespoke programme that we knew would challenge and entertain.

“We have the perfect venue for hosting team building days that really make a difference. Each training programme can be tailored to a client’s requirements to ensure they get the most out of their time with us.”

Tony Rowe, Chairman and CEO of Exeter Chiefs commented: “Thank you to Holne Park House and CRS Adventures for everything you did to make the two days of pre-season so enjoyable for the lads. That’s the secret - if you can make work fun and enjoyable, you are half way there.”

Holne Park House Corporate is set within the River Dart Country Park estate, amongst 90 acres of countryside and woodland. Based on the edge of Dartmoor, only one mile from the A38 between Exeter and Plymouth.

The venue lends itself as the perfect destination for an array of events; from breakfast meetings, conferences, corporate events and team building activities, to fairs, shows, exhibitions and festivals.
