Trek China in aid of the Mental Health Foundation

25 September - 5 October 2008

For a country with the biggest population in the world China remains largely untouched by the West....

It is a beautiful country steeped in tradition, history and mythology.

For those with a passion for culture and sense of adventure China leaves a mark on all who go there.
