Conquer the Great Wall of China

Sarah Steer is raising money for St Michael's Hospice (Hereford)

Conquer the Great Wall of China · 31 October 2026 to 8 November 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Originally built to protect China from nomadic invaders, the Great Wall offers an exhilarating adventure. This week-long challenge includes over 10,000 uneven steps. Breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain landscapes will fill you with awe.

Story

In 2024 I completed the St.Michael’s Conquer the Camino challenge; it is an experience I will never forget. I met the most incredible group of people; we shared our experiences and emotions and helped each other along the way, and we will be friends for life now. As a group we raised over £50,000 for the hospice.

In October 2026 I will be participating in the ‘Conquer the Great Wall of China’ trek. We will be trekking a remote section of the wall, from Gubeikou to Jinshanling and Simatai. We will be trekking 5-8 hours a day on various terrain including sections with thousands of stairs, some of which have begun to crumble and are more like steep gravel slopes.

I am excited to be able to take on this new challenge. I am paying the full costs of the trip myself so that I can combine another adventure with the chance to raise more funds for this extremely worthwhile charity. Every penny donated will go directly to St.Michael's.

I am hoping to try out some new ideas to fundraise so please watch put for my updates on social media. I would really appreciate any donations, whatever you can give, which will help to raise funds.

Thank you very much

Sarah
