Tom and Richard co-own and run TNR Coaching, and the programme sees them treat the celebs to an afternoon of abseiling [whereabouts tom??] and a hearty meal at their onsite pub. \u00a0The pair founded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tnrcoaching.co.uk\/\">TNR Coaching<\/a> in 2015 and offer a range activities and training opportunities to individuals and groups across North Wales and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Said: \u201cWe had a great time filming with the celebrity barging team, everyone was really friendly and got stuck to the activities. We\u2019re looking forward to watching the series and feel privileged that we were asked to be involved, especially as we only established our business less than two years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>North Yorkshire born Tom, 28, who graduated with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/higher-education\/courses\/adventure-sports\/adventuresportsmanagementfd\/\">FdSc in Outdoor Education and Management<\/a> from Reaseheath after completing his National Diploma in Adventure sports with us, has built up a strong portfolio of outdoor education experience since leaving the college. Initially working as a freelance outdoor activity instructor in North Wales he went on to establish a number of outdoor activity camps in East Africa, France and Scandinavia. He\u2019s also a bushcraft guru, running survival and bushcraft courses around the UK.<\/p>\n<p>On college Tom commented: \u201cMy time at Reaseheath definitely inspired me to pursue a career in the adventure industry. I originally planned to join the marines, but the support of tutors and gaining work experience in North Wales, took me on an outdoor adventure path and I\u2019ve never looked back!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like Tom, his business partner Richard also has an outdoor coaching background, with over 20 years\u2019 experience in the industry alongside experience managing pubs, working as an IT engineer and computer systems builder. The pair set up TNR Coaching to give the people of Llangollen and surrounding areas the opportunity to explore the landscape in a fun an affordable way.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside running TNR Coaching Tom and Richard deliver a host of other training such as remote fieldwork first aid and health and safety workshops, working closely with Chester Zoo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Catch Tom and Richard on \u2018Celebrity Carry on Barging\u2019 on Friday 24<sup>th<\/sup> February Channel 5, 8pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s always exciting to see where life takes our former students, so we caught up with adventure sports grad Tom Robinson to find out how his outdoor adventure pursuits has taken him to TV!<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":62866,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[388],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
