In conjunction with the Magazine ‘Mens Health’ and ‘In The Detail’ Event Management, The Adrenalin Jungle was challenge number 9 in a 10 kilometre modern day obstacle course. Set up at The Embankment, competitors travelled from far and wide to take part in this experience for charity as well as just for fun.

Contestants had to hit the archery target before they could move onto the final challenge. Final figures show that 1,138 competitors completed the archery challenge succesfully.

Well done to all the Adrenalin staff for running a proffessional and smoothly operated event – getting over 1,000 people in 3 hours to pretend to be modern day Robin Hoods is no mean feat!

The Adrenalin Jungle was asked by RED BULL to help them run one of the check point challenges as part of their ‘CAN YOU MAKE IT’ ADVENTURE. So for 3 days in October The Adrenalin Jungle offered Archery as the obstacle for all teams coming through the NOttingham checkpoint station.

The idea behind the RED BULL CAN you make it?! has sent hundreds of international students on a unique pan-European adventure. They wanted them to discover who could travel thousands of miles without a pound in their pocket, who could eat and drink without a penny to their name and who could find a place to sleep when they’re skint.

Pushing adrenaline levels through the roof demanding ingenuity, fitness and creativity, each team of students were free to decide how they travelled, how fast and, ultimately, how successful they were. The teams of three set off from Madrid, Rome, Budapest, Berlin and Manchester in a quest to reach the French capital, Paris, at the very latest by 14:00 hours on 31 October 2008.

All participants were relieved of life-saving essentials such as cash, credit cards and mobile phones and, in exchange, received a specified number of cans of Red Bull.

With nothing more than a map and their Red Bull ration the plucky teams set off on a journey of discovery across Europe. However, it wouldn’t have been much of a challenge without a few obstacles along the way! All of the teams participating had to pass dozens of designated checkpoints, where they topped up their valuable supplies of Red Bull to haggle with on the way to the ultimate goal – Paris!

Can you think of any connection between archery and dangerous driving? No we couldnt either! However the TV programme ‘Police Camera Action’ thought differently.

Adrian Simpson arrived at The Jungle on a rainy, miserable day in April to film within our Archery Arena. The idea behind the filming was to act as a visual aid to demonstrate the risk that people take when pulling out from a junction without looking – you wouldnt walk out into the path of a flying arrow, so watch what you’re doing on the road.

This is due to be aired in Summer on ITV1, so look out for the Jungle!
