We walked along the whole section that was open to the public here - not sure how long it was but we estimate 6-8km (and we did both directions so we were pretty stuffed by the end!). Beautiful views and some horribily steep climbs up steps made for giants and midgets alternatively! In this pic you can see about half of the section we walked.
Stupidly enough it surprised me cos i had thought from pics i had seen that the wall itself was pretty flat ... but when you think about the fact it is built on the ridge between the highest points of mountains ... well no - flat is not the word i would use!
This is us looking verrrrrrry hot and sweaty - and boy were we ever! We didn't bring quite enough water but i confess when we had to fork out 5 times the normal price for a bottle of icy water from some enterprising locals it was well worth it!
I should confess that we cheated a bit since we caught a chairlift up to the wall itself and a toboggan down (weeeeeeee!) These blokes were at the bottom and once again we got ripped of cos i totally suck at bargaining but they were very entertaining at least :D
This last pic is the beautiful view from a window in one of the watchtowers in the wall.
