SUMMARY:Great Wall of China Trek
DESCRIPTION: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.\nThe Great Wall of China Trek is a fantastic charity challenge, hiking for five days along this magnificent manmade structure. One of the best in the market, this challenge takes you over watch towers and mountains, through historic battlement stations that are well off the tourist trail – there are many sections during this challenge where you’ll feel the Great Wall is for you only, with no-one else in sight. Rest assured, the Great Wall of China provides a fantastic backdrop to some fantastic trekking.\nThe trekking on this charity challenge is hard, due to a number of steps you trek up and down each day – it can sometimes take an hour just to trek 1km! 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’. Uniting as one and with exceptional support from when you sign up through to the challenge itself, this trek will not disappoint.\nGlowing from your amazing success, you’ll have some free time to explore Beijing’s famous sites such as the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square before celebrating your achievement at dinner.\nYou’ll receive:\n– a striking, high-quality T-shirt\n– dedicated fundraising support\n– help with promotion on social media\nMost importantly, you’ll be joining a powerful community working together to stop epilepsy interrupting lives\nTo register your interest or if you have any questions, please contact our Events & Community Fundraising Manager, James, at j.gaydon@epilepsy-institute.org.uk ( mailto:j.gaydon@epilepsy-institute.org.uk ) or call us on 020 3882 9438.\n
