Left Beijing at 6.30 to inspect the route. The steps are harder than I thought, I guess there were no building regs when they were built. Took an hour to get across a 4 K section. Great to meet up with Klaus and Ole, they are as excited as I am for Saturday despite the fact 33 degrees is predicted. The wall is like a massive sun trap its like being in a pizza oven

I saw this photo as a thumbnail without putting my glasses on and thought ‘wow, Richard really has become hench!” – then I realised it wasn’t you!!! xxx
Thanks Joan , it’s like the old days training in Frederiksberg and Klaus moaning because he has to. Walk so far
Thinking of the girls and Jeanett
I just read your amazing blog Rich and I wish you a safe run at The Great Wall of China. What time (european time) you start on the 18 of May?
I know you can make it and you will win
Say hallo to Ole Wessung and Klaus Sletting
You are all 3, a fighter, a supporter and a survivor ♥
Good Luck <3
