You wouldn’t think it possible to organise the construction of a new website from the Amazon rainforest, but that’s what explorer Ed Stafford has just done. And that’s not even the most impressive thing he’ll do this week – at dawn on Monday 9th August, Ed will become the first man to walk the length of the Amazon river, from source to sea.
Ed started his Walking the Amazon expedition on 2nd April 2008 and as of today, he’s been walking for 855 days. With the expedition nearing it’s end he realised that he’d soon need a new website if he was to continue to keep his followers up to date with his new adventures.
We’d been lucky enough to work with Ed through The Prince’s Rainforests Project for Schools so we were thrilled when he asked us to come up with a new website for him. In spite of his remote location, the design and build process was pleasantly straightforward and www.edstafford.org was launched yesterday, just in time for Ed’s return to the UK.
It’s not often you get the chance to read about a unique expedition as it happens, so Ed’s blog is highly recommended reading. And for a real taste of life in the rainforest, check out the video gallery at www.walkingtheamazon.com – truly fascinating stuff.
