Same morning routine. Walk started at 9.30 at Gubeikou section of the wall Very hot right from start. Temp 30 degrees. Walked for 7.1/2 hrs +. Many parts of wall in a perilous state, eroded by years of wind rain and winter snow. Very difficult terrain with watchtowers and battlements snaking across the hills. In many parts it was more like rock climbing! Very challenging particularly in heat. When we stopped for lunch one of the locals was waiting with a cool box of coca cola and sprite and then about 2 hrs later one appeared with ice lollies! Finally we arrived back. Paper cutting demonstration tonight, which was quite fascinating.
