Between the 17th and 27th of September 2005 a team of fifteen people walked the Great Wall of China that stretches 6000km in a dotted line across China. This challenge was one of physical and mental toughness.
Walking for an average of six hours a day, the trekkers had a unique opportunity to experience the terrain, the culture and the history of China. The trip did not only test everyone’s strength and stamina, but rewarded them with sights they will never forget. This team of fifteen people trekked a route along the Great Wall on parts barely walked by others and off the beaten track
The walkers raised over £40,000 between them. This is no easy task; therefore, A huge THANK YOU goes out to everyone who participated in this demanding Challenge.
