An English guy Tarkar L' Herpiniere and his girlfriend Katie-Jane Cooper has finished their great trip along the whole Great Wall. They walk through the whole of 4,828 kms in 167 days totally on feet!!!!

Many sections of the Great Wall are soaked in sand or badly damaged, very difficult for walking!! But they had only some satellite photos of the whole road and they knew just a few Chinese words!! How incrediable!!

After the exploration, they both lost some weitht, totally 38 kilograms!! And they are shorter than before, each by one inch (2,54 centimeters).

I really admire their persistence and braveness!! This also depends on their good cooperation, that is from their deep love for each other and believe in each other!!

i think the man is no ordinary traveller, he's cycled across France at the age of 16, is an expeditionist to the poles and the everest etc. The girl friend has overcome physical challenges,she's been hospitalised twice

Leonardo. Great. You are like a poet.
"Life is a long journey; so is love. " I like this sentence.
