Gubeikou Gateway - Day 4

6:30 alarm calls,as we had to be o the road by 8am.
Today was a massive challenging 8 hours trekking the Gubeikou Gateway section of the wall which lies between two passes in the mountains in the north east
It took us approx 45 mins from our accommodation to a small village from where our trek begun.
There is all kind , or every kind of terrain today starting from early on the trek which builds up as you start seeing the remains of the watch towers.
We were counting the Watch Towers , as they led us closer to lunch!
We trekked along a mixture of renovated and un-renovated parts of the wall today.
The day was long but there were not many steps to come across.
The main challenge for everybody and including myself was at how narrow and broken up the top of the wall we were walking on , and not getting Vertigo!

But that is the LONGEST day completed.
Tomorrow is the HARDEST day. Ha Bring it on.

We stayed in a really poor accommodated room called Fairyland.
It had its small issues but everybody survived,its all part of the challenge!

The surprise entertainment for tonight was Karaoke Bar.
It was a great laugh everybody had a go , and many soar heads will be felt in the morning !Read more
