<p><span style="color: #000080;">Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page for ORBIS.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">The challenge was a 4.5day trek alone on the Hadrian's Wall. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">I am still wordless to describe my feelings &ndash; exhausted, painful, excited, happy &hellip; I have no clue. I, however, still remembered the moment when I reached the finish point. The trek was tough and I was challenging my own limit.</span><span style="color: #000080;"><br /></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">But there is no limitation, I know. </span><span style="color: #000080;"><br /></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Reading information as much as I could, doing 3-month fitness training, buying suitable socks (socks only, I did not spend much on clothing) that all helped me to&nbsp;achieve this goal easier and better.</span><span style="color: #000080;"><br /></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">When I chatted with fellow walkers, some were amazed by my 4.5day walk especially I did it alone. It was because most of them spent 6-8 days to finish the whole trip with families and friends. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Yeah, I am also flattered by myself.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">No matter how harsh I found the trek was, I must confess that it is a trip that is much more unforgettable than the past ones. I did some&nbsp;evitable silly mistakes which made the walk longer and vanished both physical and psychological strengths. It was, moreover, an tempation made me nearly give&nbsp;up. These little difficulties are all my experiences and my history. They are parts of my life. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Human lives are really short comparing with the Hadrian&rsquo;s Wall. While I was stepping on the ancient Roman sites, there was a D&eacute;j&agrave; vu feeling. I always though of the ancient Roman who built this marvelous wall. But what can we do to have a life without regrets? Do we seize&nbsp;the days? Do we cherish our experiences whatever good or bad? </span><span style="color: #000080;">I am an person with an ordinary life but I have no regrets in my life. So far.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">I do wish everyone I met along the Wall a healthy and happy life. Thank you so much for your encouragements and warm smiles. </span><span style="color: #000080;"><br /></span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">No doubt, I express my humble&nbsp;gratitude to all of the sponsors both for RASHKB and the ORBIS.</span><span style="color: #000080;">&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Here was my itineary:</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Day 1] Newcastle (<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-error">Wallsend</span>) to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-error">Heddon</span>-on-the-wall (24km in 8 hours)</span> </span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Day 2] <span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_20" class="blsp-spelling-error">Heddon</span> to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_21" class="blsp-spelling-error">Chollerford</span> (23km in 8 hours)</span>&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #000080;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Day 3] <span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_22" class="blsp-spelling-error">Chollerford</span> to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_23" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gisland</span> (31km in&nbsp;9 hours)</span> </span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Day 4] <span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_24" class="blsp-spelling-error">Gisland</span> to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_25" class="blsp-spelling-error">Carlisle</span> (33km n 10 hours)</span> </span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">Day 5] <span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_26" class="blsp-spelling-error">Carlisle</span> to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_27" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bowness</span>-on-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_28" class="blsp-spelling-error">Solway</span> (24km in 5 hours)</span>&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #000080;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #000080;">I have created a blog about this trek with a lot of images and details, please go: </span><a href="http://moo-on-hadrianwall2010.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #000080;">http://moo-on-hadrianwall2010.blogspot.com/</span></a></span><span style="color: #000080;">&nbsp;and photos here: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/moodytang_hk/sets/72157625542473469/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/moodytang_hk/sets/72157625542473469/</a>.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">I have visited the Obris Flying Hospital in October 2010 in Hong Kong.
