About this listen

 This seven month canoe journey through the remotest Amazon rainforest was over-ambitious, and a little bit insane. With no means of contacting the outside world and be rescued, John and his companion paddled 600 miles against the current of the river Jari, with the plan to carry the canoe 20 miles over the hills from Brazil to French Guiana. Malaria, leishmaniasis, hunger and constant hardship nearly killed them, but couldn't dent their enthusiasm. Adventure doesn't come better than this, immersed in unexplored wilderness, far from the destruction of the modern world.

After seven canoeing expeditions to the Amazon, John Harrison is regarded as one of the world's experts on independent jungle exploration. He has also canoed the Niger, four rivers in the Barrens of the Canadian north, and rivers in the USA and Europe. John has been profiled by National Geographic TV, and chaired tropical forest workshops at the Royal Geographical Society.

'Mountaineers have many classic accounts of daring ascents of horribly difficult peaks. With 'Up the Creek', tropical forest lovers now have their own epic adventure.' Dr John Hemming. Ex-Director of the Royal Geographical Society Adventure Brazil
