Great Wall of China Trek

6 October 2018

Great Wall of China Trek

6th to the 14th October 2018 

 

The Great Wall of China has been voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Stretching for 6,000km, it zig zags its way across China, snaking across mountains and through valleys.

One of the best challenges which will take you over watch towers and mountains, through historic battlement stations that are well off the tourist trail – there are many sections during this charity challenge where we’ll feel the Great Wall is for us only, with no-one else in sight. Rest assured, the Great Wall provides a fantastic backdrop to some fantastic trekking.

The trekking on this charity challenge is hard, due to the amount of steps you will trek up and down each day – it can sometimes take an hour just to trek 1km on this glorious structure! Another highlight of this challenge is to conquer the 1,000 steps up to the wall at Mutianyu – culminating with the ascent of the ‘Heavenly Ladder’.

You will have some free time to explore Beijing’s famous sites, such as the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square.

An ancient wonder, an amazing accomplishment… join us on this charity challenge of a lifetime and ensure your place in history.

 

Registration: £350

 

Minimum Sponsorship: £2,600
