Kate Green did a five-day trek along the Great Wall of China to raise money for the MHMT.

"Just finished Day 2 - in my MHMT t-shirt! "Amazing on the Wall... Spectacular, breathtaking views. So far, seems like the training has paid off, but won't speak too soon!"

Kate returned to the UK on 11th October having completed the 63km route along the Great Wall.

Kate said there was a great spirit of comeraderie and good humour in her group. This was particularly important when the going was rough; when the steps were reduced to rubble, when the paths were so narrow that one had to move in single file, and when there were steep descents on either side of the steps, and the times when the steps were almost vertical.

Luckily the evening meals were wholesome and delicious and something to really look forward to at the close of each day of the trek.

Most important and impressive of all, the surroundings are particularly majestic and awe-inspiring and the idea of building a wall on such a scale in the first place and then executing the idea, is a tribute to human endeavour

THANK YOU KATE for this incredible effort on behalf of the MHMT!
