The great wall of china!!!! October 6th, 2009
What and understatement!! It was amazing!! Im very glad that I did it!
We decided that after a day of people staring at me and wanting my photo all the time that instead of going to the local part of the great wall that we would go on a tour instead!! We went to the hiking part of the wall which was a 3 an a half hour drive away!! There were very few locals there and I can see why!!! It was extreamly hard!!!
We did 10k in 3 hours!! It was unreal in parts!! There were 90 degree parts to the wall with no proper steps that we had to get up!! We litrally were on our hands and knees for some of it pulling ourselves up!! It had massive drops down the side as well so one bad move and you were taking a flying lesson!! I can’t believe just how bad some of the areas were. But we survived it and my god what an experiance it was!!
Andy says he would never do it again but I think I would! It was difficult but at the same time looking back now it was a real achievement and I really enjoyed it!! Even though I can hardly move now as my body is in soo much pain!!
