The challenge

  • Conquer Imperial China’s masterpiece
  • Tackle steep and uneven staircases
  • Triumph over tumbling and twisting paths
  • Soak up the sunset over crumbling watchtowers
  • Reward yourself in the cultural climax of China’s capital Beijing

As part of the Iconic Series, I'm thrilled to announce yet another partnership between Involve and Charity Challenge: the very demanding Great Wall of China Trek.

 Don't be fooled by the apparent short distance, as you'll be doing something similar to the 3 Peaks; twice, with the ups and downs of this challenge.

Our challenge starts in Jinshanling with a vigorous upward climb requiring you to mount thousands of steps that loop along the mountains either side of the Gubeikou Gateway. Each day you will trek approximately 12kms along the stony path, twisting and winding its way along the mountains, interspersed with crumbling watchtowers.

 Your imagination will take you back several centuries to when the wall was the front-line defence of Imperial China and, when we've finished, we'll return to Beijing to explore some of the many attractions of China's capital city, including the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square.

 So what are you waiting for?

 

And remember; you can fundraise for WHOEVER you want to fundraise for"

 

"The Great Wall Discovery was an amazing adventure, a real challenge of the mind, body and spirit. I feel so lucky to have participated in such an incredible experience. I'd do it all again in a heartbeat!"
