Dear Emma and Brandan,
i have just read your story of walking the Great Wall of China yesterday on a Sydney Chinese newspaper. I could hardly believe at first that you two had spent a year and walked 3000 km along the wall! After i read your story this morning, i really admire you for your courage to take this great walking!
I came from Shanhaiguang, Hebei province(at eastern end of the wall) and i never even think about walking along the wall! Well, inspired by your story, i should pluck up my courage and walking along the wall for 30km next time when i visit China! (of course it is not as great as you to walk for 3000km!)
thank you very much for telling your story to the world, and i hope i could buy your book of this trip oneday.
All the best.

Thank you for all that info…it is really interesting but I think that I will opt for a 4-5 star Hotel and hope that the smokers will respect our new JULY 1st Non – smoking rule..
But I do have one question, that I am sure all of us want to know, and that is, how do you get to “charge” all your electronics – eg, cells phones, satalite phone, computers, hairdryers and cameras when you are obviously away from powerpoints during your camping out days and nights…surely these pieces of equipment can’t last for 5-6 days without being re-charged?
Looking forward to seeing you in real time
love D & M
