Next month journalist and adventurer, Pip Stewart, will embark on a world-first descent of South America’s third largest river, the Essequibo River, from source to sea via kayak, alongside fellow expedition adventurers, Laura Bingham and Ness Knight. Not a journey to be underestimated, this challenge will take the trio on remote river passes, rapids and waterfalls as they paddle its 1014km length from southern Guyana to the Atlantic ocean.
I caught up with Pip, whose previous adventures include cycling 10,000 miles from Malaysia to London, to get the details.
