Day 677 of a World First
Ed Stafford is walking from the source of the Amazon river in South America to where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. His journey started on the 2nd April 2008 and is expected to end in August of this year.
The expedition started over a year a go in Camana on the West coast of Peru at the source of the river Amazon. He will follow a further six rivers before finally joining the Amazon again and finishing his trip over two years later.
After spending just under two years on the road, Ed has travelled over two thirds of the way there. He is the first man ever to attempt and looks good to succeed in this epic journey. He is not entirely unsupported, and is joined along the way by hundreds of guides and a few old friends to.
This truly is one of the last greatest adventures yet to be conquered.
