These photos were taken by my roommate, the excellent Llew Kemp. The comments are by him, the titles are by me. Hope they're true to the spirit...

Thanks Llew - both for being my roomy and for these pictures. :-)

Our first view of the Wall above the Barracks, the mission for the afternoon.

Fresh legs walking under the gate that announced the start of our first mornings walk.

Where have all the hawkers gone? Nearing the eighth tower at Simitai. Chris and Becca (I think).

460 steps - is that all? Angela manages the last few steps at Mutianu on all fours.

Two sisters for who nothing is impossible on the wild wall at Huanghuacheng. Jess and Edith, Chris and Anita.

In the afternoon the wall got even wilder. I think Harry must have got a bit confused - or are we all going the wrong way?

I know they said it was steep, but ... Our second ascent on the last day at Jurongguan Pass.

Angela, Gill and Hugh taking a breather almost at the end of the last day at Jurongguan Pass.

Eric and his flag trying to keep us under control in the Forbidden City.

Just a pretty view of the roofs and trees in the Lama Temple.

Celebration of a monumental trek well done at the Beijing Duck Restaurant - just don't tell us what they do to the ducks! Standing: Rich, David,+?, ?, ?, Me, ?, Ollie, Angela. Sitting: ?, ?
