Ed Stafford Walking the Amazon

Charley Boorman, author of Long Way Back In the words of Sir Ranulph Fiennes, ‘Truly extraordinary… in the top league of expeditions past and present.’ Walking the length of the Amazon, from its source to the ocean took him 860 days – over two and a half years. His encounters with joy, fun, fear and danger are as fascinating as the dangerous wildlife he meets. This book takes you into Ed’s mind and the deep jungle he tackles. Most of my trips are weekends away compared to this modern-day hero. More info: edsta ord.org
