Ed is best known as the first person ever to walk the length of the Amazon river. He filmed and blogged this epic two and a half year journey himself and it was later turned into a hugely successful documentary broadcast on the Discovery Channel. Since then Ed has led further explorations into some of the most hostile and intimidating terrain on the planet and has recorded further adventure/ survival series for Discovery.
