“Do you want to come and do a running treasure hunt around London Zoo?” - you don’t say no to this question. Cut to a rainy Saturday morning in Mornington Crescent, gathering in a cute little cafe with all my blogging faves chatting to Brooks about their new Urban Jungle Pack. The Urban Jungle Pack reimagines classic Brooks shoes (Ravenna 6 and Ghost 8) in cheetah and zebra prints and the results are pretty cool indeed.
After the debrief we headed to London Zoo to start a treasure hunt. The prize? A pair of trainers from the Brooks Jungle Pack to give away to my followers! These shoes are awesome and everyone in our team (Charlie, Emma and Jen!) was keen to win so that we could host our own giveaways! We had to find five things in the zoo..
(1) Take a selfie with an animal smaller than you
Easy peasy with this little guy! (2) Share a photo of the scariest thing in the zoo
This was a close call between the SPIDER ROOM (spiders roaming free in the wild)…
…and this red-eyed demon fish.
It took a lot of time to get this photo.
I also apparently really love fish
(4) Take a video of a noisy animal
It just so happened that it was really really rainy that day so all of the animals stayed inside, quietly snoozing away. This was very sensible, but it did mean that we couldn’t get a video of noisy animals! We noticed that, what with us running around all excited, we were probably the noisiest animals in the zoo that morning! We got a video of us running wild in a tunnel…
(5) Show us the comparison; which animal looks most like you?
I actually only got down to do this impression of a gorilla because I thought it would be funny, but turns out my pose is pretty accurate.
The good news is that all our efforts were rewarded - we won! This means I get to offer a pair of these shoes for free to one of my lovely readers. All the details below!
IMPORTANT INFO:
The shoes are selling like hot cakes so the competition will be open for 48 hours only.
It’s open to residents of the UK only.

A huge thank you to Brooks for inviting me for the funnest morning ever at London Zoo and for giving me a pair of Brooks Jungle Pack Trainers to giveaway!
I love my Ravennas and these designs are so fun. Jungle cats are my fave!
Hiya, that treasure hunt sounds amazing!! My favourite jungle animal is a Tapir, they just look so strange!

Sounds like such a fun event! My favourite jungle animal would be all kinds of little monkeys - they are so much fun to watch.
I love elephants too, but didn’t realise how much until someone said to me ‘you are obsessed with elephants what with your elephant mug, earrings and t-shirt your wearing!’
Mines a Giraffe! X
Hi! I was following this on Twitter, looks such fun! My favourite animal is a Panther - although my running style more resembles a sloth..!
I’m an elephant fan as well 🙂
Thanks for your post, a great read.
My favourite jungle animal would probably have to be an elephant. I see a lot of similarities to myself, if nothing else - just how inept and clumsy I can be!
My favourite jungle animal by far is the chimpanzee - I love how mischievous and happy they seem. I also look and act like a bit of a chimp myself!
Looks like great fun! My favourite is a zebra… looks beautiful but has a lethal kick!
Wowza those trainers look cool! And the zoo run looks quite amusing hehe.
My favourite is the cheetah - they just look so sleek and magnificent.

Loving the trainers! My favourite jungle animals are tigers because I love their colours!
My favourite jungle animal has to be any kind of cheeky monkey! Never tried a Brooks trainer though so I am so tempted by these!
I love ocelots- beautiful and rare. Also Tapirs- weird cow like things!
I loved seeing the fun unfold from the Brooks Zoo trip on twitter, Sounded like an amazing experience.
My favourite jungle animal would probably have to be a Tiger, I think they’re stunning, especially white ones!
Tiger - stunning.
So so much love for these shoes- and the treasure hunt looked like great fun too!
I’m a big fan of tigers! Tigers and zebras for sure. Such cute shoes too!
Looked like such a great event, followed it on twitter! my favourite is between the elephant and the penguin.. but that penguin pic you posted has sold it for this 🙂
My favourite jungle animal is a leopard as they are sleek and fast!
I love leopards because they are fast and sleek!
Favourite jungle animal is definitely an elephant! We don’t give up and keep on plodding 🙂 I need new ghosts!!
Favourite jungle animal? A tiger, they’re stunning animals and I’m a cat person 😉

I’ve had the Ravenna 3s, 4s and am currently running in the 5s: if I had cheetah print 6s I would probably have to stop upgrading!
My favourite animal would be any kind of primate: I love how human they are but how much fun they seem to have. Would make a fairly boring shoe though, alas!
I love Capybara’s, think they are absolutely hilarious!
That sounds like such an amazing day! I’d love to do a treasure hunt around the zoo - especially if I got to see my favourites, the giraffes!
I love London Zoo so much- my partner took me there last year to cheer me up after having been in hospital and hands down, I’m a giraffe fan! Take a step back, think about it…. nature gives us truly the strangest gangly, spotted, horned, long tongued creatures. I also LOVE that they’re into everything- forever trying to get closer to the humans who stare at them- gotta love a bit of sass!
Sounds like so much fun and a good idea from Brooks. Penguins are definitely my favourite… they’re just so funny to watch, I could watch them all day . Hope you had fun!
I love giraffes!! Great long necks to keep an eye on everything going on!
I love the zoo!! My favourite jungle animal is the orang utan, so hairy but very beautiful!
I love penguins, after watching how human they are in march of the penguins 🙂
