The Great Wall of China trek
Derek and Barbara Yarwood took part in the Great Wall of China Trek. The challenge took them 5 days and included a 4 hour walk up a mountain which is a part of the wall that tourists do not go to.
"At the end of our walk we caught the coach to Beijing. But first we had to climb for four hours in a storm over this mountain, sliding down the path in the mud and eventually getting to the top, due to the storm we could not rest at the top and walked over the pass for a few hours to a road. The whole adventure was a great challenge but worth every minute of the time spent there."
