Stretching 6000km in a dotted line across China, the Great Wall was begun in the 5th Century BC. As it snakes across the mountains it conjures up a sense of history which is difficult to grasp until you have had the opportunity to experience it...
This trek is very varied, as we pass through woodland and terraced farmland, and follow the contours of the beautiful hills and mountains in remote areas north of Beijing. We follow old sections of the Great Wall, as well as restored sections with smooth flagstones and lots of steps!
This challenge is physically demanding and offers fabulous scenery and a fascinating insight into a rich culture and history.
This trek is also available as a family challenge. For more details on family challenges click here or contact our events team on 020 7841 4507 for more details.
Taking part in an Open Challenge is a wonderful way of exploring the world and raising money for The Children's Society. These challenges are open to anyone and they are usually made up of groups of individuals each fundraising for their own chosen charity.
The Children's Society is a leading children's charity committed to making childhood better for all children in the UK. We take action to prevent, rescue and support children facing life trapped in a vicious circle of fear and harm; a vicious circle driven by violence, neglect, poverty and discrimination, which destroys childhood and wrecks community living. We give children the hope and confidence they need to face the future with optimism. We never turn away.
You can make a difference and support our work by participating in this trek. We would love you to represent us!
