Trek along one of the world’s most iconic structures and help us to support more families who have a seriously ill child.

On this 9-day adventure we hike for 5 days along an iconic structure – the Great Wall of China! Each day of this challenge we visit and trek along different sections of the Great Wall, experiencing the changing landscape and learning about the deep history of each part of the wall – it is a classic adventure – and one to tick off the bucket list!

Our adventure takes us from the ‘Wild Wall’ at Guibeko with its crumbling paths and ruined watchtowers to the restored ‘post-card’ views of Mutianyu and Badaling; where panoramic views stretch to distant misty mountains over peaceful woodland and terraced fields to exposed ridges and majestic peaks. The steep climbs will challenge you, but the views are worth it!

“I had a really brilliant time, I met some lovely people and didn’t find the day to day walking that tough. I was touched by the support I received from Rainbow Trust.”

Adele - 2017 supporter
