On 15th September 2009, The BBC ONE programme COUNTRYFILE filmed at The Jungle.

The day was a beautifully sunny Autumn day when the stars Julia Bradbury and Matt Baker arrived to give a couple of our events a go as part of filming an episode focussing on diversification of farming in Notts.

Julia hurled herself accross our Assault Course and they were due to have a go at Lasertag but unfortunately time ran out but our Paintballing should also feature in the programme.

As mentioned in an earlier blog The Adrenalin Jungle took a starring role on Britains Biggest Loser on Tuesday 26th May. The contestants along with their 2 trainers Richard and Angie arrived at The Activity Centre with no idea what they were about to face, but moments later were given the challenge of our Assault Course.

Angie said later, ‘When I saw the assault course I have to say I was nervous. I really was! I thought there’s no way they’re going to cope with this. I had a go on a few things and thought it’s just not going to happen!’

They had to dismantle the cannons, take them round the assault course and then put them back together with all their bits at the end. The first team to kneel down and shout BANG were the winners.

Also Don Logan The Adrenalin Jungle’s Managing Director has done 2 radio interviews following recent reports of Germany wishing to ban Paintball. Don was interviewed by Fran Healey on Radio Nottingham on Monday morning and put across his thoughts on why Paintball is a safe and popular sport and should not be associated to the increasing gun crime in Germany. If you want to have a go at Paintball don’t forget to you can find out more information at The Paintball Jungles website.

Back in March (we were sworn to secrecy until the TV programme went live) The Adrenalin Jungle was asked by ITV to facilitate an activity as part of the challenge for Britains Biggest Loser – a daily weight loss show based on the original US format, which is currently being shown during the week on ITV at 4.00pm.
The programme follows the lives of dramatically overweight people as they undertake a strict diet and exercise regime in order to shed pounds. 9 finalists had to battle over our Wall, through our Black Hole and across the Rope Swing to complete their ‘boot camp’ session.
Keep your eyes peeled for ‘The Jungle’ live on ITV over the next couple of weeks. So if they can do it so can you!
