 Many well known charities arrange treks in exciting places in Africa, China, Mexico, Peru, Nepal and other locations to raise much needed funds for their cause. A couple of years ago I joined around 30 other people to trek 60kms on and alongside the Great Wall of China. This picture shows our group setting off on the first day. Some parts of the trek were an easy stroll but the 2okm on the Wall itself was very hard work even though I had spent 12 months training uphill and down dale right across the UK and in Italy even hiking up the staircase of the Cupola of St Peter's Basilica in Vatican city in my hiking boots - what a racket that made. However, its the people you meet and the memories that you keep that far outway the aches and pains of tired muscles. I would highly recommend this as a worthwhile to see new parts of the world, meet new people, have an adventure and raise money for worthwhile causes. |
