This thread is for planning my 2009 Great Wall trip. On each successive trip I take to the Great Wall, I get more ambitious. The plan for 2009 is to trek the entire distance from Shanhaiguan to Huangyaguan. Currently, this trek is in the very early planning stages.
Original thread on 2009 trip
2008 trip thread
I originally envisioned doing this trek alone, but fortunately, Kim has expressed interest in joining me. There are a lot of advantages to doing this trek as a team instead of individually, so I am very pleased at this prospect and I hope it works out. Kim and I share a mutual, intense interest in the Great Wall and I think we would get along well. Who knows? We may eventually end up covering the entire distance to Jiayuguan, and this would be a great way to get started!
This trek has been rescheduled for 2010. Therefore, a new thread has been created
here and this thread has been closed.
