Walk a section of the Great Wall of China and raise funds for DLAG.

Up for a new adventure and a challenge?

Reasonably fit and resilient?

Chinese adventure. Experience the architectural grandeur, superb mountain views, watchtowers and historic battlements, some well off the tourist trail.

About The Trip

A consecutive 5-day hike will be central to your 9-day visit to the Great Wall of China. Experience first-hand, a stunning, Unesco World Heritage site – one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and a truly majestic feat of human endeavour, while raising much needed funds for DLAG.

Sign up to join Tonja and others from our partner organisation, David Lloyd who have already committed to the trek.

Breathtaking views will be your reward for the effort of climbing the1,000 steps of ‘The Heavenly Ladder’ which is part of one of the steepest but most spectacular parts of the journey. Whilst in China, you will also explore Beijing, the Forbidden City and after all the exertion – enjoy the calming ritual of a traditional Chinese tea ceremony.

Who Can Sign Up?

The trek is open to fundraisers who are 18+ (14–17-year-olds need to be accompanied by an adult). The course is challenging but achievable for those with a reasonable level of fitness, but preparation will be key.

Join the Trek Team!

The trek team will be supported by a professional Global Adventures Challenges Leader, plus both local guides and a medic.
Tonja is excited to get going, and her motivation is clear – she says: “As lucky as I am to be fit, healthy and earning, like many others, I have had difficult times. Since school days, I have completed many treks, but I am looking forward to a new challenge – sponsored by David Lloyd Ltd to raise funds for DLAG.”
