15th October 2009 - On our own in the jungle. No satellite navigation, back to using maps.
 The caiman (alligators) have raised their armoured heads recently too. We’ve had two babies caught in our fishing nets and they could take our fingers off far quicker than any piranha. But its angry mother caiman responding to their young’s cries for help that worries me more. We finished our food on Tuesday so a resupply was needed. I’ll let the video tell the story… Join us on Thursday 29th October for the next update.

Stafford is an explorer. Like Captain Scott of the Antarctic and Sir
Ranulph Fiennes before him, he has a passion for discovering and
learning about the vast planet that we all live on. Today, so many of
the great expeditions have already been done by explorers of the past.
There are no longer many things that people can do and say, "I was the
first person in the world to do that!" 
I’ve led expeditions across the world, but none of them were as far away from medical help as we have been recently. As our GPS (satellite navigation) is broken this is testing my map-reading skills to the limit.
