Great Wall of China Cycle Challenge for The Prince's Trust · 28 October 2006 ·

The King’s Trust supports 11 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed or struggling at school to get their lives on track. Many of the young people we support are in or leaving care, have been in trouble with the law, or they are facing challenges such as homelessness or mental health issues.

Story

Hi All,

I'm trying to raise as much money as I can for the Prince's Trust! I'm doing this be participating in the Prince's Truest Great Wall Of China Bike Challenge!

The challenge

I'm going to be cycling 400km in 5 days for the Princes Trust.

This is going to be anything but a nice holiday! I'll be cycling for around 6 -8 hours each day, often over hilly and difficult terrain. I'll be following the wall as it climbs deep mountains and drops back down to sea level. So I’m going to have to train for lots of uphill cycling on rocky, challenging terrain. No plush hotels either, I’ll camping under the stars with the rest of the wild animals!

The route runs alongside the Great Wall (rumors that the wall was built to keep me out in the first place are speculation at best) and I’ll travel alongside the immense un-restored parts of the Wall to where it finally reaches the Yellow Sea.

The Prince's Trust
