Walking the Amazon - Book Review

In August 2010, Ed Stafford became the first person to walk the full length of the river Amazon. His, source to sea, adventure, which he started on 2nd April 2008, took him 860 days to complete. Ed has now written an account of this epic journey.

In April 2008, Ed Stafford began his attempt to become the first man ever to walk the entire length of the River Amazon. Nearly two and a half years later, he reached the mouth of this colossal river, where it flows into the Atlantic ocean.

Throughout his journey Ed faced many dangers including Alligators, Jaguars, Snakes and a plethora of jungle insects. He was chased by machete-wielding tribesmen and even detained for murder.

Ed has now written a book about his incredible journey which can be bought from Amazon, priced £10.07

Ed's book is a true and honest account of his travels and adventures and should sit proudly on any adventurers bookshelf.

 “Living like nomads, carrying what we needed, and living off our wits for up to two years, I felt as if I was the luckiest man on earth.” Ed Stafford - Walking the amazon

'Walking from the Pacific, over the Andes and along the entire length of the Amazon to the Atlantic is truly extraordinary... To do all this puts Stafford's endeavour in the top league of expeditions past and present' - SIR RANULPH FIENNES, OBE
