First steps – Saturday

I’ve met the other 25 in the group, and it’s a really good group. People from all over, all ages and shapes and abilities. There’s going to be lots of good chats along the way.

We drove for about an hour and a half out of Beijing and our local guide gave us all sorts of fascinating information. We are staying two nights here and have had a quick jaunt up part of the wall to get a sense of what it will be like over the next eight days? It’s not going to be easy, but it will be scenic and rewarding.

Soon it’s dinner time and then a long sleep for all of us.
