This blog is about my trek to the Great Wall of China. This was my first ever foray into the world without known company, and an incredible experience that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
I met some wonderful people, and raised over £2000 for my chosen charity, Action Duchenne, which supports boys like my little brother, who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. This is a life-limiting, muscle-wasting disease, which at the moment has no cure. I wanted to do something empowering, and useful, and since I had always wanted to go to China I figured a trek along the Great Wall would be something suitably adventurous.
I trained for a year and half before I went (which makes me sound a lot fitter than I was!), and had absolutely no idea what I was letting myself in for, but it was a total blast.
I hope you will enjoy reading about my strange and eye-opening pilgrimage. What follows is an abridged transcript of the illegible, heat-dazed notes I made whilst I was on the trip.
